According to a recent survey conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the rate of nonfatal workplace injury and injury within the private sector remains at a historic low for 2018. North Carolina is one of 12 states (also including the District of Columbia) with rates below the national average of 2.8 cases per 100 full time workers. This is an important factor for a state like North Carolina that has experienced significant growth in recent years.
