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.

     入选2012最差职业榜的职业都有这些共同特点：体力劳动量大，工作机会日益减少，工作环境糟糕而且工作压力巨大。

       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.

     今年有两个媒体类职业首次上榜：报社记者和播音员。网络数字世界日益普及，提供的即时信息也越来越多，社会对于报纸和广播的需求正在逐渐减小。可以肯定的是，这两种职业曾经辉煌过，但巨大的工作压力、日益减少的工作机会和不断下降的工资水平还是让它们登上了我们的最差职业榜。

      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:
