These are the most dangerous jobs in the United States

Something feels wrong about these statistics, in particular:

Doing the math:
105 * 100,000 / 57.5 = 182,609 full-time roofers
72 * 100,000 / 35.9 = 200,577 full-time aircraft pilots and flight engineers

Is that right? There are really more pilots & flight engineers than roofers in the U.S.?

Edit: I realize they are referring to FTEs, not full-time individuals, but it still doesn’t make sense to me.
