There were some very interesting information that came out recently from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, an office inside the U.S. Department of Labor. Sometimes the bureau spits out some numbers regarding workplace deaths and work-related traffic accidents. A couple of the tidbits that are of particular note are that in 2013, the number [...]
For those of you who pay attention to this blog (and if you know what is good for you, you do), you understand that I don't usually post here except on Tuesdays and Fridays when I have new material (and time!) to post. So you know that there is something important when I am presenting [...]
