Immigration: Boom Times

Workplace Death Dept: Government figures show workplace fatalities in 2010 spiked by 24 per cent over the previous year. The figures, compiled by Alberta Employment and Immigration, record 136 deaths. In 2009, that number was 110, according to Calgary Herald. As the economy shows signs of recovery, union leaders are worried more workers may pay for haphazard safety practices and lax enforcement and the state of Alberta's economy can be measured in more than dollars -booming business is also mirrored in the workplace death toll. Over the past decade, workplace deaths have spiked in step with boom times, reaching a record 166 deaths in 2008. As reported in the news.
