• Description:
  Researchers examined the impact of work-related injuries on workers' wage and salary income and family net worth using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979 Cohort, N=12,686). American workers who incurred an occupational injury between 1988 and 2000 severe enough to cause days away from work lost an average $3,715 (in 2000 dollars) in annual income growth during the ten years post-injury, when compared with their non-injured counterparts.
