Foulke however, "there is still more work to insome areas.
A record 917 Hispanics, for example, died on the job last Fatalities among workers under 20 years old jumpexd 18 percentto 166, and fatalities amongh workers 55 or older also Fatalities among agricultural workers increased 23 "These numbers confirm that under the Bush workers at the bottom of the economic ladder are payingt a very heavy price," said AFL-CI O President John Sweeney. The union leader accuserd the administration of neglectingworkplace safety. Highway accidents accounted for one out of every four work fatalitieelast year.

The General Servicesx Administration manages most of these The creation of GWACs limited to smalo businesses have helped small IT firme winmore contracts, a study by the Small Businessx Administration's Office of Advocacy found. But a handful of companiews are benefitingthe most.
One-third of the GWAC dollars awardeed to small businesses from 1995 to 2004 went to only five according tothe study. The study was based on the federal government's official procurement Critics say this database mistakenlyu counts many contracts awarded to large businesses as smalllbusiness contracts.
