總有那麼些時候，我們都覺得自己的職業是世界上最糟糕的。但當你真的用數據來分析比較每個職業的各個方面時，毫無疑問，那些好職業和壞職業之間的差別十分明顯。

　　Physical labor, declining job opportunities, a poor work environment and high stress are all pervasive attributes among those jobs that comprise our 2012 Worst Jobs List.

　　入選2012最差職業榜的職業都有這些共同特點：體力勞動量大，工作機會日益減少，工作環境糟糕而且工作壓力巨大。

　　For the first time ever, two different media jobs made our Worst Jobs list: Newspaper Reporter and Broadcaster. As the digital world continues to take over and provide on-demand information, the need for print newspapers and daily newscasts is diminishing. To be sure, both jobs once seemed glamorous, but on-the-job stress, declining job opportunities and income levels are what landed them on our Worst Jobs list.

　　今年有兩個媒體類職業首次上榜：報社記者和播音員。網絡數字世界日益普及，提供的即時信息也越來越多，社會對於報紙和廣播的需求正在逐漸減小。可以肯定的是，這兩種職業曾經輝煌過，但巨大的工作壓力、日益減少的工作機會和不斷下降的工資水平還是讓它們登上了我們的最差職業榜。

　　Other new additions to this year’s Worst Jobs list include Enlisted Military Soldier, Waiter/Waitress, Dishwasher and Butcher. The complete bottom 10 this year in order are:
