       1 Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction.
       2 Race and ethnicity data do not add to total.  Some cases may be counted as both Multi-race and Hispanic and other race.
       
       NOTE:  Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines.  Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
