By 2010, middle and older age groups in the labor force will outnumber younger workers. (Sources: BLS [2002a]; Fullerton and Toossi [2001].)

The labor force participation of male workers is projected to decrease from 57% in 1980 to 52% in 2010. Corresponding increases are shown for female workers, who are projected to account for 48% of the labor force in 2010. (Sources: BLS [2002a]; Fullerton and Toossi [2001].)

The labor force participation of black workers and Asian and other workers has increased since 1980, with black workers projected to account for 12.7% of the labor force and Asian and other workers for 6.1% by 2010. Corresponding decreases are shown for white workers, whose labor force participation is projected to decline to 81.2% by 2010. (Sources: BLS [2002a]; Fullerton and Toossi [2001].)

The percentage of Hispanic workers is projected to more than double during this period, increasing from 5.7% in 1980 to 13.3% in 2010.

| 5 |  | Figure 1-5 Employment by major occupational group, 2000 and projected to 2010. BLS projects employment to increase by 22 million workers (to a total of 167.7 million) over the period 2000 to 2010. The largest numbers of workers will be employed in professional and related occupations and service. BLS estimates that these occupational groups will experience the greatest growth between 2000 and 2010, with employment increasing to 33.7 million for professional and related occupations and 31.2 million for service occupations.

The largest numbers of workers will be employed in the services and wholesale and retail trade sectors. BLS estimates that these industrial sectors will have the greatest growth between 2000 and 2010, with employment increasing to 52.2 million for services and 34.2 million for wholesale and retail trade.

By establishment size, nonfatal occupational injury rates varied from 7.1 to 2.0 per 100 full-time workers. Incidence rates were higher for establishments employing 50-249 workers than for smaller or larger establishments. This pattern did not hold for all industries. (Source: BLS [2002b].)

Hispanic workers accounted for 10.2% of employed U.S. workers in 2000 but 17.1% of all nonfatal injury and illness cases in 2001. White, non-Hispanic workers accounted for 74.1% of employed U.S. workers in 2000 but 68.2% of nonfatal injury and illness cases with days away from work in 2001.

| 13 |  | Figure 4-3 Number of full-time equivalent workers at surface work locations by type of employer, 1992 and 2002. From 1992 to 2002, overall employment at surface mining work locations decreased by 8.5%, from 237,300 to 217,000. At surface locations, the number of metal operator workers decreased 44%, the number of coal operator workers decreased 28%, and the number of nonmetal operator workers decreased 21%. The number employed at surface operations increased for stone operator workers, sand and gravel operator workers, and independent contractor workers. (Sources: MSHA [2003]; NIOSH [2003a].)

From 1992 to 2002, the number of full-time equivalent workers at underground locations declined by 34% (from 69,300 to 46,000). The number of workers in coal operations declined 38% but still accounted for 77% of underground employment during this period. The number of metal and nonmetal operator workers also declined, whereas the number increased for stone operator workers and metal/nonmetal-independent contractor workers.

| 15 |  | Figure 4-20 Average distribution of full-time construction workers by trade, 1992-2001. Among the trades monitored by CPWR, the estimated distribution of employed construction workers by trade ranged from 0.6% to 13.3% during 1992-2001. Carpenters made up the largest proportion of construction workers (13.3%), followed by construction laborers (8.8%) and electricians (5.9%). (Notes: (1) Apprentices are included for some trades when data were available. (2) All other includes managers, professionals, supervisors, clerical workers, sales personnel, and trades that each totaled less than 1% of the industry. (3) Computations were based on a definition of full-time work as 2,000 employee hours per year.) (Sources: BLS [2002c]; Dong et al. [2004].)

| 16 |  | Figure 4-24 Distribution of construction workers and fatal occupational injuries by employment size of establishment, 2001. In 2001, more than 80% of construction establishments had fewer than 10 employees, and establishments with fewer than 20 employees employed only 38.2% of the wage-and-salary workforce. However, fatal occupational injuries among these smaller establishments accounted for more than 55.5% of fatal occupational injuries in 2001. (Note: The calculation excludes the self-employed workers and deaths reported without establishment-size information.) (Sources: BLS [2002b,c]; Census [2003]; Dong et al. [2004].)

Two occupational groups (managerial and professional specialty; and technical, sales, and administrative support) employed 60% of all workers (or 80.9 million workers). Female workers accounted for nearly half (46.6%) of all employed workers and more than half of workers in technical, sales, and administrative support (63.7%) and in service occupations (60.4%). Black workers accounted for 11.3% of all workers, and service occupations had the greatest proportion of black workers (17.9%). Hispanic workers accounted for 10.3% of all workers, and farming, forestry, and fishing had the greatest proportion of Hispanic workers (21.5%). (Source: BLS [2001].)

Female workers accounted for nearly half of all workers (46.6%) and for more than half the workers in services; finance, insurance, and real estate; and retail trade. Black workers accounted for 11.3% of all workers, but public administration and transportation and public utilities had the greatest proportions of black workers (16.2% and 15.8%, respectively). Hispanic workers accounted for 10.9% of all workers, but agriculture and construction had the greatest proportions of Hispanic workers (20.3% and 15.8%, respectively). (Source: BLS [2001].)
