Bloggers Have High Number Of Workplace Homicides

The Labor Department released statistics yesterday that showed 1 in 4 workplace deaths in Philadelphia is a homicide. The national average is 1 in 10.

Nationwide, the most common way to die on the job was to get in an auto accident. But in Philadelphia, auto accidents made up only one in eight deaths. Enjoy the rest of your workday.

Update: Oh, yeah, and this graf (thanks Mike):

“Among them was Zong Xiang Wang, 44, fatally shot during a robbery Aug. 11, 2006, behind his takeout at Fifth Street and Lehigh Avenue in North Philadelphia. Wang had hoped his restaurant would be the ticket to the American Dream. Instead, mourners placed dumplings, noodles and rice at his grave to nourish him on his journey to the afterlife.”
