Wistron Resumes iPhone Production at Violence-Hit India Factory

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.

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.

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.

A fool is someone who makes statements like this but doesn't check the numbers.

Actually, maybe it is? Would be nice to find non-decorated stats for this.

For example, I have been hearing lately that for a man between 18 to 45yo suicide is the most likely cause of death: above diseases, attacks and assaults and the aforementioned job accidents. In Canada I found online in a government web page an archived study from 2009 (deemed almost as not important) where it was the second spot in a shorter age range.

I’m open to not discard yet said statement.
