Per-capita context
| Per 100,000 residents (2025 population estimate) | Wisconsin | US |
|---|---|---|
| OSHA inspections opened, per year | 21.4 | 20.6 |
| OSHA citations issued, per year | 43.9 | 38.2 |
| WHD cases concluded since fiscal year 2005 | 56.6 | 107.3 |
| Back wages agreed to pay since fiscal year 2005, per resident | $7.27 | $14.00 |

Resident population: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates (Wisconsin: 5,972,787). 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.
