The annual USA mortality statistic you quoted is across all age groups, including seniors. The labour migrants in Qatar are young, able-bodied men. The annual mortality for males in the 25-34 age group in the US is less than 0.2 per thousand per year. Qatar has a more than fivefold excess deaths for migrants compared to the similar age group in the USA, which leads to a very rough estimate that around 80% of migrant deaths are excess deaths compared to a similar demographic cohort in the U.S.
