Bloomberg has an article based on the U.S. Department of Labor report on how many people die at work, and why. (Click “as a percent” and “violence or homicide” in the third chart)
As far as total number of deaths, landlords rank near the bottom, but as a percentage of those on the job deaths that are violent death, we are #4. Still, it is more dangerous to be a cashier, which should be motivation for not taking cash in your business. At least it is at mine.
Milwaukee has seen a couple of landlords murdered while working on their properties over the past few years.
