Tree felling is a dirty dangerous job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

According to labor data compiled by Jobapplicationcenter.com, tree felling is the most dangerous job in America, killing 7.9 out of every 1,000 workers per year. The gig is nearly five times as deadly as the next dangerous job on the list, commercial pilots, who die at a rate of 1.6 per 1,000 workers per year. Also making the top 10: hoist and wench operators (a title that includes crane operators in industries like coal mining and logging); tree trimmers and pruners; and commercial drivers.

What makes tree felling so dangerous? Workers run the risk of falling from great heights and being electrocuted by power lines as they work.

On the whole, it’s safer to work in the U.S. today than it has been in at least the last 20 years. There were fewer than 4,700 workplace deaths in 2014 (the latest year for which BLS data is available), down 29% from 6,630 in 1994. Men are overwhelmingly more likely to die on the job compared to women (92% v. 8%), largely due to the fact that men dominate them most hazardous occupations: forestry/agriculture, transportation,and construction.

There have been several workplace deaths in recent years that have grabbed national headlines, and some incidents don’t just involve workers, but bystanders as well (the BLS data used in this report only tracks worker fatalities). In February, New Yorkers were shaken when a 600-foot-tall construction crane plummeted hundreds of feet onto a Manhattan street (the crane operator survived, but a pedestrian was killed and three others were wounded).

Comedian Tracy Morgan settled a lawsuit against Walmart in 2015 after a commercial truck driver working for the mega-retailer slammed into Morgan’s limousine, injuring Morgan and killing his friend. Morgan’s legal team alleged that the driver, who faced criminal charges afterward, had fallen asleep at the wheel after driving for 24 hours straight.

There’s been increased talk about sleep deprivation as a risk factor in high-fatality jobs like commercial driving and airline pilots. New federal rules in 2013 reduced the maximum hours commercial drivers can work in a week to 70 hours from 82. And similar rules rolled out for pilots in 2014, requiring at least a 10-hour break between shifts.

And lest you think you’d be well-compensated for doing risky work, that’s not always not the case. Some pay better than others: Tree fellers earn just $39,240 a year, less than half as much as commercial pilots.

*Due to an error in original report, we misstated the fatality rate for fellers and commercial pilots. They are 7.9 per 1,000 and 1.6 per 1,000, respectively.
