Migrants are about 85% of the population in Qatar now, about 3 million people (NYT), but of course that swelled a lot due to construction needs compared to before. Deaths per 10000 in construction work in the US is about 10 (OSHA). The numbers in that chart are not different in comparison, not to mention there are difficulties even getting good figures due to how intransparent Qatar is.
There are lots of things to criticize Qatar for, why focus on this?

Hold on, looks like I was wrong but that's still not right... About 2 million migrants, even with lower estimates from elsewhere of 6000 dead that's like 30 per 10,000 workers, and an upper estimate (this chart) of over 100 per 10,000...
