Occupational safety and health statistics

The Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics awarded a $132,300 cooperative agreement to the Maine Department of Labor under the Compensation and Working Conditions federal grant program (CFDA 17.005) from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The award will support the Maine Department of Labor's delivery of occupational safety and health statistics to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Specifically, the Maine Department of Labor will provide data to analyze and publish a diverse set of measures on employee compensation, work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities in Maine. It will also compile statistics on work stoppages in the state. This information will help the Bureau of Labor Statistics improve measurement of these important labor market indicators as part of its mission to collect, analyze, and disseminate essential economic information to support public and private decision-making.
