    Group Issues Report Cards for State Workers' Comp Performance Occupational Hazards
    California, the largest state, received a flunking grade. Performance was not good on all measures, but is close to the bottom when it comes to getting workers back on the job and preventing outliers, especially for carpal tunnel syndrome. According to the study, New York has gotten even worse. It received an 'F,' but went from being in the middle of the 'F's' to being in last place as a state (and second to last after Puerto Rico). Other 'F's' were received by Delaware, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, West Virginia and Wyoming.

    A summary of each grade for all states is shown on a U.S. map located at www.odg-disability.com/pr_repsrc_us.htm.
