It’s natural to assume that the more dangerous a job, the more pay it offers.
Unfortunately, a new infographic from Devin Jollimore, training coordinator at Mission Safety Services found that compensation levels of dangerous jobs are often far lower than the level of risk these workers expose themselves to on a daily basis.
“My role is to educate people on the best safety procedures and the large amount of deaths in the world’s most dangerous jobs has always troubled me,” said Jollimore
“The next time you’re bored at your desk, remember how lucky you are to work in a job where you are safe. There are people who work in jobs that risk their lives every day for a very poor salary.”
Here’s a list of the 10 most dangerous jobs in the world and what they pay:
