Adverse Weather and WC Claims With Patrick Coate

AIS 2026: How Demographic Shifts Are Impacting WC

As the labor force evolves, workplace risk evolves with it. NCCI experts Patrick Coate and Paul Hendrick explore how the aging workforce, new hires, and other demographic shifts may shape trends in workers compensation claims and the broader industry during AIS 2026. * Workforce aging and other demographic shifts can have implications for workers compensation. * Injury rates are higher-and falling more slowly-for older and younger workers than for those ages 25-44. * The aging workforce presents a growing area of exposure, as older workers increasingly experience elevated claim frequency and severity. * Newly hired workers are a key driver of claim frequency. The prevalence of new-hire claims is closely tied to the strength of the labor market. * Demographic trends vary substantially by industry.
