Table 1. Fatality Counts and Rates, 1992 and 2004
Year	Number of fatalities	Fatalities per 100,000 FTE Workers	Fatalities per $B real GDP
1992	6,217	5.4	0.85
2004	5,764	4.2	0.54
NOTE: Fatalities are from the CFOI. Hours worked data are from the CPS, and full-time equivalence (FTE) is defined based on the assumption that a full-time worker works 2,000 hours per year. Gross domestic product (GDP) is deflated to year 2000 dollars using a chain-type price index for value added. In contrast to a fixed-weight index, the weights of a chain-type price index change over time as the composition of output changes over time. Value added is defined as gross output minus intermediate inputs.
