3 Million Private-Sector Workers Suffered Workplace Injuries or Illnesses in 2013
Employer-reported injury and illness rate declined to 3.3 cases per 100 workers in 2013, but that’s cold comfort for the 3 million workers who made the list of injuries and illnesses.
The good news is that the number of reported workplace injures and illnesses continues to decline, according to the latest report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bad news is that more than half of the 3 million workers who represent the human cost of those numbers suffered a serious injury or illness in 2013.
