What's the most dangerous job in America?

It's not firefighter or police officer or window washer or long haul trucker.

It's commercial fishermen.

The absence of an elegant gender neutral term like fisher or fisher person or fish harvester

may be by design, as in the US it's an almost exclusively male profession.

In America from 2000 to 2010, 554 fishermen lost their lives in expeditions off the East Coast,

West Coast, Gulf Coast, and Alaskan shores.

The human toll of fishing related labor extends beyond catching to processing, as seafood

is often scaled, peeled, and canned by low-wage labor, indentured servants, and even slaves.

A 2015 AP report exposed how Thailand's billion dollar shrimp industry is powered by slave

labor, with human victims trafficked from Myanmar and Papua New Guinea enforced to work 16

hour days for no pay under the threat of violence and death.

The end result of these life-risking conditions and labor abuses up and down the supply chain,

inexpensive, abundant fish and shellfish in US supermarkets and chain restaurants.

Anyways, I want to say, to spoonation and here's a drop I haven't listened to.
