Which Illinois Workers Are Most Likely To Get Hurt On The Job?

At least 100,000 Illinois workers are injured on the job every year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — and these are just the injuries and illnesses that employers know about and report.

Not surprisingly, injuries and illnesses are more common in some industries than others. For example, in 2016, the rate of workplace injury or illness was almost eight times higher in the natural resources and mining sector than in the financial sector.

However, some service industry jobs have injury and illness rates as high as or higher than manufacturing and production jobs. Here are a few industries with above average rates of nonfatal workplace injuries and illness in the private sector:

While some industries are riskier than others, your specific job affects the risks you are actually exposed to. Within the health services industry, a nurse is more likely to be exposed to hazardous conditions than a hospital administrator, for example.
