Five Most Dangerous Teen Jobs

June 10, 2005 -- -- Last summer, a 17-year old Alabama boy died at a poultry plant when he fell onto a conveyor belt that carries live chickens to be processed. Two months later, another teen died when he was pinned in a front-loader tractor on a construction site.

The two are among the 60 to 70 teens who die every year due to a workplace injury, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Every 30 seconds, a young worker gets injured on the job and about 230,000 teens get hurt every year.

So, before you encourage your teenager to learn the finer pleasures of a 9-to-5 job, make sure they're not clocking in for trouble.

The National Consumers League cautions the 4 million young workers headed into summer jobs that not all jobs are safe jobs.
