The study shows that **California** leads the nation in workplace injuries with **363,900** reported cases. The top five states make up more than **892,000** total cases. California’s number is more than **double** that of **Texas**, which ranks second.
These results show how different states face very different levels of risk. States like California and Texas need stronger safety rules in place to lower the number of injuries.
White collar jobs like finance and office work usually have fewer injuries. But these roles still come with risks – things like stress, long hours, or strain from screen time. The study found that jobs with more training and better safety rules tend to have fewer problems. This helps show where support and resources should go.
