We combed data from the Occupational Information Network to rank jobs in America by their impact on workers' health, measuring six risks: exposure to contaminants, exposure to disease and infection, exposure to hazardous conditions, and exposure to radiation. It also evaluated jobs that put employees at risk of minor burns, cuts, bites, stings, along with time spent sitting down. Frequent inactivity has been shown to shorten lifespan.
