World's worst job

It may bill itself as a workers' paradise but working in its coal mines is no picnic:

A gas explosion in a northern Chinese coal mine on Saturday killed at least 17 miners and trapped 52 others, state media said, in the latest tragedy to strike the world's deadliest mining industry.

China's coal mines are the world's deadliest. Last year, more than 6,000 miners were killed in explosions and accidents.

Many of China's mining deaths occur in small, privately owned pits that frequently evade Beijing's attempts to regulate them and impose safety standards.

It's a Reuters report so that last line isn't unexpected.

What did you do at work today?

I survived.
