The silver lining: “Amid Higher Unemployment, Fewer Workplace Injuries” Posted on November 25, 2009 by Constantine von Hoffman One more reason I love the Wall Street Journal. The Labor Department’s report of occupational injuries and illnesses that required days away from work mimicked the shifts the recession caused in the labor market in 2008. Hard-hit sectors, such as construction and retail, reported fewer injury and illness cases. Older workers experienced more injuries as their labor force participation rose. And incidents among younger workers fell as fewer remained employed. AdvertisementShare this:RedditFacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailTumblrPinterestLike this:Like Loading... Related
