Of the trials and tribulations of being a lumberjack, the website explained: ”Unemployment for lumberjacks is very high, and the demand for their services is expected to continue to fall through 2016. And while working outside all day may seem like a great job perk, being a lumberjack not only is considered the worst job, but also one of the world’s most dangerous.”
Worse, lumberjacks earn around US$32,000 a year, while those in the world’s best job of software engineer take home an average of US$88,000 per annum.
Other worst jobs included oil rig worker, newspaper reporter, butcher and broadcaster.
