After a global decline in employment, there's a decrease in the percentage of workers injured on the job.

Since this is an “Except” question, the correct answer will not explain the decrease in the percentage of workers injured on the job. Wrong answers will explain why workers are less likely now than before to be injured on the job. The correct answer will either not offer such an explanation, or else will make it more likely that workers are injured on the job.

Employed people are working fewer hours than before, and fewer hours means fewer opportunities for accidents and mishaps. This explains why there's a decrease in the percentage of workers injured on the job.

Since workers aren’t working as hard to meet deadlines, they’re less likely to rush into accidents. Moreover, they’re more likely to follow time-consuming workplace safety protocols if time isn’t an issue.

Compared to before, there are now fewer people working dangerous jobs relative to the overall working population. Therefore, a lower percentage of workers are likely to suffer injuries from dangerous work.

A decline in workplace safety resources suggests workers would actually be more likely to be injured on the job than before. This doesn’t explain why the rate of job-related injuries has fallen; it only deepens our confusion.

Experienced workers who know how to operate equipment safely have retained their jobs, while inexperienced workers who are more prone to injury have been let go. This explains the reduction in injury rates.
