As the job market further expands and evolves, new vocations will come up while old ones fade away. Not everyone is so lucky to be in a growing field, however, and online job database CareerCast has found what might be considered the least attractive jobs of 2017 — many of which involve dangerous work conditions or a murky job market outlook.

CareerCast’s report utilizes a range of criteria such as income, outlook, environmental factors, stress and physical demands to rank 200 U.S. jobs annually. This year, these 10 jobs came in at the bottom.
