When we talk about dangerous jobs, most people thinking about police, firefighters, fishermen or construction workers. But theres another amongst the fastest growing category of high-risk jobs.
Move over policemen and firefighters. Driving for Uber and Lyft is now Americas most dangerous occupation.
An article from the San Francisco Chronicle reports that driving for app-based services like Uber, Lyft and GrubHub is now likely to rank somewhere between the top 13% and the top 1% of most dangerous jobs.
The report uses data on injuries and fatalities from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to reach its conclusions, many of which shed light on the level of risk the gig economy is bringing to the workforce.
