When jobs were slashed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was also a small reprieve in workplace deaths—11% fewer workers died on the job in 2020 compared to 2019.

But that didn't last.

💥More workers died as jobs rebounded
💥Racial disparities in workplace deaths widened

[APM Research Lab @APMResearch]

The U.S. overall workplace death rate has remained relatively constant over the past decade.

But Black, Latino and teen workers all see recent increases in workplace death rates, according to @BLS_gov data.

"Risk of injury and death is far higher among some occupations than others. Those working in farming, fishing and forestry have a far higher rate of on-the-job deaths than is the case for those working in office and administrative support occupations."
