You can now order zombies using your ride-sharing app. In New York and San Francisco, Lyft has arranged for actors dressed as zombies to appear at your desired location this Halloween. Meanwhile, CareerBuilder has analyzed data about America's 53 largest cities to determine which one is most likely to survive a zombie attack, weighting 8 factors including the percentage of engineers in the population and the number of small arms manufacturers.
Exploiting the popular fascination with zombies has apparently become a new Halloween tradition for everyone from job-finding sites to self-published authors. One blog even notes the number of zombie-themed ebooks in Amazon's Kindle Store has doubled every year since 2011, peaking this year at 15,659 different titles.

Engineers and construction workers each got 15%. Is that because we need official drawings and someone to cut the plywood to board up our homes??
Its for the minecraft style mob grinder. May as well get some drops off all those zombies. At least you won't run out of leather any time soon. Surprised no body ever tries this in a hollywood movie. Never took minecrafters very long to invent a use for all those spawned zombies.
