We all love our cell phones, right? New figures show that the deadliest job in America now goes to the men and women who build and repair cell phone towers.
According to a story in this week''s RCR Wireless News, the fatality rate is currently 183.6 deaths per 100,000 workers.
The cause for the runup in tower worker deaths isn''t completely clear, but it''s likely a combination of careless working practices (workers not using safety gear 100 percent of the time, or not using it correctly).
