Before attempting this assignment make sure to review the interview with the Maine Bureau of Labor and Statistics. In this assignment you’ll be discussing the data in the interview and contrast it with your own state (or a different state if you are in Maine). If your home state does not post data similar to that found in Maine choose a state close to your home state to focus on. Discuss the data available for both Maine and your chosen state. How is the available data valuable/relevant to occupational health? What are the similarities from state-to-state? What are the differences? Does each state use descriiptive or analytical approaches to gather data? Point to examples to support your claims. Make sure to utilize the websites discussed in the interview.
