Recently CareerCast created a list of “The 10 Worst Jobs in the United States” and we discovered butchers were ranked #9.  Not only were butchers ranked #9, John jr was pictured in the list.  CareerCast used “fewer employment opportunities, high stress and poor work conditions” as some of the characteristics of the worst jobs in the United States.

10 Worst US Jobs according to CareerCast:

  1. Lumberjack
  2. Dairy Farmer
  3. Enlisted Military Soldier
  4. Oil Rig Worker
  5. Newspaper Reporter
  6. Waiter/Waitress
  7. Meter Reader
  8. Dishwasher
  9. Butcher
  10. Broadcaster

10 Jobs the US Needs

We looked at the list and quickly realized the United States would be a scary place without any of these jobs.  Just losing the military alone can lead to Americans losing their freedoms.  But, add to it the loss of the dairy farmer and the butcher (even the wait staff and dishwasher) and now Americans are finding it more difficult to eat.  Take away the oil rig worker and the meter reader and we have no power to light our homes or fuel for our vehicles.  Lumberjacks disappear and now our homes, furniture, and more dissappear.  How many of us would go insane if we didn’t have the information provided by broadcasters and newspaper reporters?

Scary thought, isn’t it?

The Brooks family butchers have been serving the Des Moines Community for 90 years and will continue keeping Iowans on top of the food chain.  In fact, we’re honored to be on a list with enlisted military soldiers, lumberjacks, diary farmers, etc!
