In 2020, about 135.57 million workers were covered by worker's compensation in the United States. This figure had been consistently increasing since 1996, when about 114.77 million workers were covered by worker's compensation, and reaching a peak in 2019. The drop in 2020 could be explained by the COVID-19 pandemic in which millions of people suddenly could not work.
