the rate's denominator

The wage join. OEWS publishes a wage for this exact SOC code. The fatality rate counts the self-employed - killed at 10.8 per 100,000 against 2.9 for employees - and the wage survey does not count them at all. The two figures above are not measured over the same people.

BLS publishes this rate as 37.4 +/- 8.15 - an interval of 29.3 to 45.5, or 22% of the rate itself. 5 other occupations have an interval that overlaps it, which means their true rates could be in either order. A rank is not a result.
