Based on injuries and deaths, if you are a commercial fisherman, you have the most dangerous job in America.  I have to agree, it's a tough job these guys have and they don't get rich.

Some stats:

Fatalities per 100,000 full-time workers: 200
Injuries per 100,000 full-time workers: 800
2009 Average annual employment: 6,700
Average salary: $22,160
