Notes: Days-away-from-work cases include those that resulted in days away from work, some of which also included job transfer or restriction. Note: Dash indicates data do not meet publication guidelines, data may be too small to be displayed. Because of rounding and data exclusion of nonclassifiable responses, data may not sum to the totals.
