The disgusting organization that is FIFA

Show me the sources for those numbers.

Here is the percent for the Qatar values you provided: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i...s+a+percentage

For reference later: 0.059%

Here is the actual number of US work related deaths: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cfoi.nr0.htm

So the number is not 50,000, it 4,679. And the US the rate is 3.3 per 100,000 workers. Which is 0.0033%.

There are roughly 140 million workers in the US. The fact that you looked at the number 50,000 deaths and said to yourself, "yeah I can believe that 1 in every 2,820 workers die every year there." says a lot about you.

Qatar has (0.059/0.0033) or 17.87 times higher death rate than the US.

It is different statistics - worker deaths in Qatar include all worker deaths, not just those that happened during working hours on the actual job or directly connected with it (transport/commute). So it includes those that fall of a platform on a construction site AND those that go home after work and have a heart attack.

The figure of 4,679 for US includes ONLY those who died on the actual job or directly related to work. If we count ALL worker deaths in the US, the conservative estimate is 50,000 a year.
