A Billion Here, A Billion There

What costs more than ALL cancers, ALL diabetes and ALL strokes?  The answer is occupational injuries and illnesses.  According to a study authored by J. Paul Leigh, a researcher for University of California Davis, $250 Billion per year is spent on workplace injuries/illnesses.  His study published in Milbank Quarterly: A Multidisciplinary Journal of Population Health and Healthy Policy reviewed more than 40 data sets that track both direct and indirect costs (e.g. lost productivity) associated with injury/illness in the workplace.

 

Cancers, $31Billion;

 Diabetes,$ 76Billion;

Strokes, $187 Billion;

Occupational $ One quarter trillion.
