Question: 1 / 400

Which demographic group accounted for most of the occupational injury deaths in 2008?

Women

Men

In 2008, men accounted for the majority of occupational injury deaths. This is because men have traditionally held more hazardous and physically demanding jobs, such as construction, mining, and transportation. Women, on the other hand, were more likely to hold lower risk occupations such as administrative and clerical positions. While Hispanic workers and workers aged 25 to 54 years may have also experienced a significant amount of occupational injury deaths, they were not the demographic group that had the highest number of deaths. Therefore, the correct answer is B, men.
