结论

Overall worker labor market outcomes were slightly better in 2013 than in 2010–2012.

  • Injured workers' relative earnings were at 93 percent by the end of the second year after injury for the 2013 injury cohort.
  • This finding was a slight increase from 92 percent for workers injured during the Great Recession of 2008–2009 and the recovery period of 2010–2012, but it was still lower than the pre-recession average relative earnings of 96 percent.

Labor market improvements were concentrated among workers with medical-only and temporary disability claims.

  • Those with claims with permanent partial disability and other indemnity payments had worse outcomes than did those with medical-only claims across all injury cohorts.
  • Earnings for workers with permanent disability deteriorated sharply during the Great Recession.

Relative earnings varied by industry and nature of injury.

  • Workers in construction, manufacturing, retail, and wholesale had relative earnings after injury that were 7 to 8 percentage points lower than the average for all workers with indemnity benefits.
  • Workers with cumulative injuries experienced relative earnings approximately 14 percentage points lower than the overall average for workers with indemnity benefits.

Workers with cumulative injuries in Southern California experienced particularly poor outcomes.

  • Workers with cumulative injuries outside Southern California had relative earnings approximately 10 percentage points lower than the overall indemnity average, while those with cumulative injuries in Southern California were 15–20 percentage points lower than the overall indemnity average.
摘要
  • Continued monitoring of labor market outcomes for the 2013 and subsequent injury cohorts is needed to fully understand trends in wage loss and understand the impacts of Senate Bill 863. Given the slow pace of medical recovery and claim resolution for severe injuries, data on earnings losses several years after injury are necessary to directly assess the long-term impact of permanently disabling injuries. In addition, many provisions of Senate Bill 863, including reforms to medical care delivery, full implementation of changes to permanent disability ratings, and the establishment of the return-to-work benefit, were not fully implemented as of 2013 and will consequently need to be evaluated in future reports using more-recent data.
  • Given existing concerns about medical cost, indemnity claim frequency, and fraud in Southern California, the finding that earnings losses are systematically worse for cumulative injuries in Southern California indicates that this group warrants additional analyses in research and continued attention from policymakers. The analyses also identified differential earnings losses by pre-injury wages (with lower earners having lower relative earnings after injury) and by industry (with workers in construction, manufacturing, retail, and wholesale experiencing lower relative earnings). For some of these industries, such as manufacturing, the trends likely reflect slower recovery in industries that were most affected by the Great Recession and could indicate groups that would benefit from additional services, such as vocational rehabilitation or other return-to-work interventions.
