According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 1999, it is also the most dangerous job in America, with more than 40,000 workers injured on the job every year.

The problems in the meat packing industry affect us all; it is the meat we buy in the supermarket, the meat we eat at fast food restaurants, and the food that is served in our university cafeterias. This research examines the efforts,'or lack or efforts, of the industry to address these problems. How these issues affect consumers is discussed.
