Furthermore, industries such as mining and road construction have also reported fatal incidents. While detailed statistics for 2025 are still pending, the AFL-CIO has emphasized that Latino workers face a disproportionately higher risk, with a fatality rate 26% above the national average, resulting in 1,250 occupational deaths in 2025.

Overall Trends
