As pointed out by a comment to the article, the headline is a classic example of poor phrasing. One could be forgiven for assuming that the workers made up, i.e. faked, their injuries. Of course the headline is trying to point out that Amazon workers constituted almost half of injuries.
- Jxl180 5y agoI didn’t read “made up” to mean faked until your comment. I can see how someone who’s mother tongue isn’t English can easily interpret that way, but I’d be shocked if native English speakers mixed this up. “Made up” is almost always synonymous with “comprised of” when referring to fractions or percentages.
