Dying on the Job in Mississippi: Lack of Adequate Protection for Injured Workers Hurts Families and Communities
National Employment Law Project and Mississippi Workers’ Center for Human Rights

This report presents data on health and safety at Mississippi worksites and finds that Mississippi workers face one of the highest on-the-job fatality rates of any state in the nation. Furthermore, Mississippi workers suffer hundreds of severe injuries every year and face a workers’ compensation system where benefits are so low that injured workers and their families are at risk of falling into poverty.
