Not to justify Saudi Arabian conditions, but if you're more granular than I assume that release is, there are a few professions in the US that have higher yearly fatality rates than 3k/10M = 30/100k including roofers, fishing/hunting, and aircraft pilots. "Helpers in construction trades" have a fatality rate of nearly 40/100k.[1]
Now I don't think 10M is the correct denominator. It's unlikely all those workers are in construction where a lot of the deaths are presumably concentrated. According to this[2], there were around 4.4M foreign construction workers in 2016. 3k/5M (assuming numbers have increased) is 60/100k, so around as dangerous as the most dangerous professions in the US.
But this also doesn't account for the alleged missing.
