The verdict

Public Defender runs at 63% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Public defenders' offices workplace, earning a grade B.

Public Defender: 2.0 TCR = 63% of Public defenders' offices BLS 3.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Defender safety composite

Public Defender scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 29%), 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).

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #11 safest of 32 Public defenders' offices employers in California.

Public Defender (238 employees, TCR 2.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Public Defender has more employees than the Public defenders' offices median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
