There is a comparatively huge amount of data, most readily available,
from numerous sources - most notably, from the U.S. Dept. of Labor,
the AMA, and various public health schools. That you pose the query you do in the vague/open-ended form in a way
that suggests that you have not bothered even to try to find much less
actually think about any such information before "asking" suggests
that, like too many of your others, your present [putative] query is
essentially a non-serious "troll" more than a serious question.


I wonder if most libraries adequately teach the public what marvelous resources they are if one learns how to use them. Between the city and our local university, there's very little that can't be discovered, though it admittedly requires some effort to learn how to use the tools that they make available. Even way out here in the bowels of fly-over country, I'm often pleasantly surprised to discover the depth and breadth of info that the libraries place at my fingertips. Of course, every other budget cycle the libraries are targets for the politicians who want to spend the money on sexier projects, so vigilance is always necessary.

The Internet and Google/Yahoo are very nice and very modern, but sometimes we tend to discard or ignore the reliable old tools just because a newer, shinier one is available. (The likelihood that the question was merely a trite rhetorical device posed to advance some agenda is irrelevant to my observation.)
