I'm wondering if this dataset exclusively covers the US, and if so, how much of any decrease in occupational accidents can be attributed to the loss in manufacturing jobs to overseas. Whether that represents progress is a matter of perspective.
- maxerickson 12y agoIf you click through you can look at the numbers: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1113569 http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1113569 (hover over the line graph) The non vehicle accident death rate in 1900 was around 80, in 1950 around 40 and around 20 between 1980 and 2000. So half of the decline was before manufacturing really hit it's stride in the US, and the decline slackened off as capacity really started moving overseas.
