400 Public Works: 27.8 TCR = 870% of General public administration BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

400 Public Works safety composite

400 Public Works scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 0%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
