North Dakota ranked second-most dangerous state for workers
(Bismarck, ND) — North Dakota has been ranked as the second most dangerous state for workers when it comes to workplace fatalities in 2022.
That’s according to the AFL CIO, which recently released its annual report on worker safety.
The report shows that some of the most dangerous industries in North Dakota are agriculture and the oil industry.
The agency says the state can improve worker safety by updating OSHA policies and workers’ compensation rules.
The report ranked Wyoming as the most dangerous state to work in.

New interstate would cut through North Dakota
(Bismarck, ND) — Plans for a new interstate will bring the highway through the middle of North Dakota.
There’s no timetable for the construction of the proposed I-27 which would run from Texas to Canada.
Funds were allotted for the project by Congress in 2022.
Congressman Kelly Armstrong says giving farmers and energy producers more options to get their products to market will save on transportation costs.
