WORKPLACE INJURIES AND ILLNESSES IN 2007 [23 October 2008] http://www.bls.gov/news.release/osh.nr0.htm or http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/osh.pdf [full-text, 24 pages] Nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses among private industry employers in 2007 occurred at a rate of 4.2 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workersa decline from 4.4 cases in 2006. Similarly, the number of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses reported in 2007 declined to 4 million cases, compared to 4.1 million cases in 2006. The total recordable case injury and illness incidence rate among private industry employers has declined significantly by 0.2 cases per 100 workerseach year since 2003, when estimates from the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) were first published using the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Key findings of the 2007 Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses * The total recordable case injury and illness incidence rate in 2007 (4.2 cases per 100 workers) was the lowest among private industry employers since 2002, when recordkeeping requirements were revised. The decline is similar to that seen from 1972 to 2001, prior to the recordkeeping revisions. * Incidence rates and numbers of cases for injuries and illnesses combined declined significantly in 2007 for several case types: total recordable cases; cases with days away from work, job transfer or restriction; cases with days away from work; and cases with job transfer or restriction. The incidence rate and number of cases for other recordable cases remained relatively unchanged. (See chart 1.) * Both the incidence rate and the number of injuries alone declined significantly in 2007 compared to 20065 percent and 2 percent, respectively. * The incidence rate and the number of illnesses alone each declined significantly in 2007 compared to 2006mainly the result of declines among skin diseases and disorders and all other illness categories, which accounted for 89 percent of the decline in illness cases. * The total recordable case injury and illness incidence rates declined among 5 of the 19 private industry sectorsAgriculture, forestry, fishing & hunting; Mining; Construction; Manufacturing; and Health care and social assistancein 2007 and remained statistically unchanged in the remaining 14 industry sectors. * Manufacturing was the only industry sector over the decade spanning 1998 to 2007 in which the rate of job transfer or restriction cases exceeded the rate of cases with days away from work. * The total recordable case injury and illness incidence rate was highest among mid-size establishments (those employing between 50 and 249 workers) and lowest among small establishments (those employing fewer than 11 workers) compared to establishments of other sizes. (See chart 2.) * Similar to 2006, 14 detailed industries, each reporting at least 100,000 injury and illness cases, combined to account for nearly 1.8 million cases (45 percent) of the 4 million total cases reported nationally in 2007. General medical and surgical hospitals (NAICS 6221) reported more injuries and illnesses than any other industry in 2007more than 253,500 cases. (See chart 3.)

U.S. Department of Labor U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics October 2008 Report 1008 Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2007 [17 October 2008] http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpswom2007.pdf [full-text, 91 pages] In 2007, women who were full-time wage and salary workers had median weekly earnings of $614, or about 80 percent of the $766 median for their male counterparts. This ratio has grown since 1979 (the fi rst year for which comparable earnings data are available), when women earned about 62 percent as much as men. (See chart 1 and tables 1 and 12.) This report presents earnings data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a national monthly survey of approximately 60,000 households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Information on earnings is collected from one-fourth of the CPS sample each month. Readers should note that the comparisons of earnings in this report are on a broad level and do not control for many factors that can be signifi cant in explaining earnings differences. For a detailed description of the source of the data and an explanation of the concepts and definitions used, see the accompanying technical note.

INCOME & POVERTY AMONG OLDER AMERICANS 2007 [3 October 2008]]
by Eugene McElroy 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Congressional Research Service (CRS) Order Code RL32697 Income and Poverty Among Older Americans in 2007 Updated October 3, 2008 Patrick Purcell, Specialist in Income Security, Domestic Social Policy Division http://assets.opencrs.com/rpts/RL32697_20081003.pdf [full-text, 31 pages] Summary Older Americans are an economically diverse group. In 2007, the median income of individuals aged 65 and older was $17,382 but incomes varied widely around this average. One-fourth of Americans 65 or older had incomes of less than $10,722 in 2007, while another one-fourth had incomes of $32,160 or more. As Congress considers reforms to Social Security and the laws governing pensions and retirement savings plans, it may be helpful to examine how changes to one income source would affect each of the others, and thus the total income of older Americans. Older persons receive income from a variety of sources, including earnings, pensions, personal savings, and public programs such as Social Security and Supplemental Security Income. Using data from the March 2008 Current Population Survey, this report describes the number of elderly individuals and households receiving income from each of these sources and the distribution of income across individuals and households. Retirement benefits from Social Security and pensions are the most common sources of income among the aged. In 2007, Social Security paid benefits to 86% of individuals aged 65 and older and to 89% of households in which the householder or the householder's spouse was 65 or older. Social Security is also the largest single source of income among the aged. Sixty-nine percent of Social Security beneficiaries aged 65 or older received more than half of their income from Social Security in 2007. For 41% of elderly recipients and 29% of elderly households, Social Security accounted for more than 90% of total income in 2007. One-third of people aged 65 and older, and fewer than one-half of elderly households, received income from a private or public pension in 2007. Among individuals aged 65 or older who reported income from a government pension, median pension income was $16,629. Among recipients of private pensions, the median pension received in 2007 was just $7,200. Many Americans prepare for retirement by saving and investing some of their income while they are working. Of the 36.8 million Americans aged 65 and older who were living in households in 2007, 18.9 million (51%) received income from assets, such as interest, dividends, rent, and royalties. Most received small amounts of income from the assets they owned. Of individuals aged 65 or older who received income from assets in 2007, half received less than $1,585. Of households with a householder or spouse aged 65 or older, 57% percent received income from assets in 2007. Among these households, median income from assets in 2007 was $2,254. Earnings are an important source of income for older Americans, especially those under age 70. Although there was a trend toward earlier retirement from about 1960 to 1985, over the past 20 years more Americans have continued to work at older ages. In 2007, median earnings of individuals aged 55 to 64 who worked were $37,000, while the median earnings of workers aged 65 to 69 were $25,000. Among all workers 65 and older, median earnings in 2007 were $20,000. Poverty among those aged 65 and older has fallen from one in three older persons in 1960 to less than one in ten today. Although the overall rate of poverty is relatively low, it remains high for women, minorities, the less-educated, and people over age 80.

CRS: THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE: CHARACTERISTICS & TRENDS [30 September 2008]]
by Eugene McElroy 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Congressional Research Service (CRS) Order Code RL34685 The Federal Workforce: Characteristics and Trends Updated September 30, 2008 Curtis W. Copeland, Specialist in American National Government, Government and Finance Division http://assets.opencrs.com/rpts/RL34685_20080930.pdf [full-text, 32 pages] Summary Understanding the characteristics and trends of the federal workforce is important because, among other things, agencies accomplish their missions via that workforce. Total personnel costs (direct compensation and benefits) for all federal employees (civilian and military, current employees and retirees) were estimated at more than $523 billion in 2008, and civilian personnel costs in the executive branch alone were estimated at about $194 billion. Three cabinet departments the Departments of Defense (DOD), Veterans Affairs (DVA), and Homeland Security (DHS) accounted for almost 60% of the nearly 1.9 million executive branch civilian employees in 2008. The duty stations for more than 35% of these employees were in four states (California, Virginia, Texas, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia, and DOD was the top federal employer in 35 states. DOD also employed more than 90% of federal civilian employees in foreign countries, and was the top federal employer in U.S. territories. The federal workforce grew by more than 120,000 employees between 2000 (the low point during the last 10 years) and 2008, with the growth concentrated in homeland security-related agencies and DVA. Civilian employment in other agencies (including DOD and most independent agencies) declined during the last 10 years. The number of blue-collar and clerical federal jobs declined between 1998 and 2008, but the number of professional and administrative jobs increased during this period. The percentage of the federal workforce that was made up of minorities also increased, but the percentage that was women remained almost constant. Although women and minorities represented an increasing portion of the growing professional and administrative groups, the representation of women and minorities in the Senior Executive Service was less than their presence in the overall workforce. The federal workforce was somewhat older in 2008 than it was in 1998, but the average length of service declined from 15.2 years in 1998 to 14.7 years in 2008. The number of white-collar employees in the General Schedule (GS) pay system declined during the last 10 years, while the number of employees in agency-specific pay systems (primarily at DOD and DHS) increased dramatically (from less than 1% of the workforce in 1998 to 16% in 2008). If these trends continue, the GS system will cover less than half of the federal civilian workforce by the year 2020. The average salary of the workforce was $69,061 in 2008, but average salaries varied substantially between and within federal agencies and pay systems. Although the federal workforce has grown somewhat in recent years, a 2006 study estimated that the hidden federal workforce of contractors and grantees grew by more than 50% between 1999 and 2005, when it reportedly included more than 10.5 million jobs in 2005. That figure is more than twice as large as the combined total of all three branches of government, the U.S. Postal Service, the intelligence agencies, the armed forces, and the Ready Reserve. This report will be updated when September 2008 data for the federal workforce become available.
