Overview
The EBI is reflective of the overall exposure burden of an occupation and is based on the average ranking for probability of exposure, frequency-weighted intensity (FWI) of exposure, and the estimated number of exposed workers.
Instructions
Filter the datatable by agent of interest to obtain occupations ranked by their overall exposure burden, as indicated by their exposure burden index (EBI). Results can be further filtered by wage and other measures of equity.
Table S10. Occupations by EBI rank for all occupational agents in CANJEM. The EBI rank is based on the average ranking for probability of exposure, FWI, and the estimated number of exposed workers for each occupation. Employee counts are rounded to the nearest 1000. Low-wage is defined a median hourly wage of less than $15/hour, which is the minimum salary of a full-time worker needed to achieve a modest but adequate standard of living for a single adult without children in all areas across the US (Economic Policy Institute, 2021). EBI = exposure burden index, FWI = frequency-weighted intensity of exposure
