Occupational fatalities: self-employed workers and wage and salary workers.
Although making up just 7.4 percent of the U.S. civilian workforce in 2001, self-employed workers incurred almost 20 percent of workplace fatalities that year. Almost 20 percent sup1 of all the workplace fatalities in the U.S. in 2001 were incurred by self-employed workers, a group that accounted fo...

Almost 20 percent sup1 of all the workplace fatalities in the U.S. in 2001 were incurred by self-employed workers, a group that accounted for only 7.4 percent sup2 of the U.S. civilian workforce that year. This article explores the reasons self-employed workers face a greater risk of fatal occupational injuries than that confronted by wage and salary workers. Two methods for examining the differences between workplace fatalities of the self-employed and those of wage and salary workers are utilized in the analysis that follows. Although the disparity in fatalities and fatality rates by industry was largely a result of self-employed workers being employed in occupations with higher fatality rates than wage and salary workers in those industries, the variations in fatalities and fatality rates by occupation were attributable primarily to self-employed workers having employment characteristics different from those of wage and salary workers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
