I am a big fan of dirty jobs, not usually the worst for income, but often dangerous. Worst job is so arbitrary, I would decide based more on the willingness/ demand for people willing to do them, rather than income. On this basis most of those listed are by no means the worst.
Some of our attitudes to work really need to change. In the US, people like Mike Rowe are pushing to change our attitude to work, and to make sure the worst jobs get done. You can actually learn quite a bit from doing tough jobs, the challenge is it's own reward usually.
This last Friday at work I refused to do a job, due to it's danger. It was cleaning heavy, sharp blades from a machine. At least 3 coworkers have had pretty severe cuts manipulating them, but management has decided that the job needs to be done. In the end someone will do it, and if they set in place a safer procedure, I will be happy to be that someone. In the mean time all I can do as part of this team is to be prepared for the next injury from these blades, warn others doing the job of the risk, and keep pushing management to change procedures. The job can be done relatively safely if done in the right way (not risk free, but within the risk level of the other work we do).
A worst job for me is when I see inexperienced, reckless, and untrained people getting injured, someone screaming to be released from a machine is not nice at all.

Or worse...not screaming.
(Don't google the phrase "man sucked into paper machine") <---trigger warning if you do that.
I love stuff like this. as a fairly "spoiled" American with solid education most of my early jobs were what most would deem degrading, including another woman shoving my hand down a toilet bowel for me at a hotel resort cleaning job as one of my firsts at age 15. While a similar motel room location had 3 day old sun baked kielbasa in the garbage cans. #omgpukecity
So I love stuff like this. Someone has to do it... whether or not you're too good for it.. lolol...good luck to you in life...

Despite my feelings on OSHA inspections... the unsafe blade working conditions are precisely why they exist.
As far as the linked list goes... it's totally subjective, not to mention it's based on a single individual.
A married person with dependents could easily double some of those government funded figures.

I've had plenty of bad jobs growing up, my first was working at Handyman ( a now defunct home improvement store) My first week they had a sale on red bricks, my job was to load bricks for customers, with no gloves, my hands didn't actually bleed but kind of oozed all day, luckily I was moved to receiving after the second week. My next job was working on a worm farm, we raised worms for bait, 10 - 12 hour days 7 days a week in 100+ deg weather shoveling manure, went home every night covered in cow shit dust, then I got a job as a janitor in Montgomery Ward's department store, went to work at 5 am and had to clean the restrooms, the public women's was always the worst, there would be shit on the walls, on the floor and all types of nasty graffiti that we had to clean up. But in the end I think all the shit jobs made me respect everyone's job no matter how menial or "unskilled" it may seem.
