I didn't say it was among the most dangerous jobs. I said there were more people dying this way than people committing suicide at Foxconn, per employee. And the numbers at Foxconn have gone down massively.I call total BS on this statement. There are 9.8 MILLION people working in retail sales in the US (source USCB).
Among the top deadliest jobs in the US are Fishing hunting workers, Logging, Aircraft pilots, Roofers, Construction workers, Garbage men, and Farmers.
You're more likely to die falling off a roof or a deep sea crabbing boat than you are getting shot as a retail clerk.
A fool is someone who makes statements like this but doesn't check the numbers.Stop. Your chances of getting killed by a customer in the USA are not greater than your chance of committing suicide at Foxconn. Only a fool would think something like that is true, and a bigger one to put it in writing for all to see.
