In my experience yellow jackets aren't aggressive at all unless you start swatting them or disturb the nest. We have a lot of them, and I've never been stung except as a result of accidentally halfsquashing one or messing up a nest, and neither have other people here. I think they get their reputation for aggressiveness from people who start swatting at them first.
