Per-capita context
| Per 100,000 residents (2025 population estimate) | Michigan | US |
|---|---|---|
| OSHA inspections opened, per year | 39.0 | 20.6 |
| OSHA citations issued, per year | 87.2 | 38.2 |
| WHD cases concluded since fiscal year 2005 | 97.6 | 107.3 |
| Back wages agreed to pay since fiscal year 2005, per resident | $9.18 | $14.00 |

Resident population: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates (Michigan: 10,127,884). Records are attributed to the state of the establishment (OSHA), the employer address (WHD) or the employer's headquarters on the application (OFLC), so a state that hosts many headquarters shows more filings per resident.
