Reply to comment by apply75 in [OC] Qatar's Migrant Deaths During FIFA World Cup Stadium Construction by Metalytiq

If you compare the number of deaths per year in the U.S. from 1955 to today the total has roughly doubled. That's because the population has doubled. This graph is pretty meaningless.

Qatar's population went from 860,000 in 2005 to nearly 3 million today. So you could argue that the number of migrant deaths per capita is actually going down.
