US Regierung mogelt mit Statistiken über Krankheit und Unfälle am Arbeitsplatz

A new study by researchers at Michigan State University suggest government statistics vastly undercount the number of injuries and illnesses that occur in the US workplace each year. According to the researchers, published statistics for Michigan failed to count roughly two-thirds of nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses over a three-year period. These new findings are in line with previous estimates. Researchers blame the undercounting on underreporting by employers.
