Valid percentages (which exclude missing values from the denominator) were used for all percent calculations.
NC: Rates not calculated for “unknown” categories or those with fewer than 20 claims (to avoid instability).
†
Throughout the year, some workers moved between different geographic regions for their employment. In these instances, the same worker was counted in multiple geographic region categories.
