To investigate changes in the incomes of workers, particularly those in the construction sector, who experienced industrial accidents according to their status of return to work. We used data from the fifth Panel Study of Workers' Compensation Insurance. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare annual differential incomes before and after the industrial accident, and a linear mixed model was used to investigate the changes in income from before to after the industrial accident according to the industry and return-to-work status. A comparison of the industrial categories revealed that construction industry workers exhibited the greatest incomes before the accident and the greatest decrease in income after the industrial accident. Regression analysis for assessing changes in income after the industrial accident showed that a comparison by industry revealed a significantly greater reduction in income in the construction than service industry. A comparison by work status revealed significantly greater decreases in income in the reemployment and non-return to work groups than among those who returned to their original work. The economic statuses of the victims of industrial accidents decreased relative to the pre-accident statuses in all industries. The ability to return to original work is important for preserving the accident victim's economic status.
为了研究工人（尤其是建筑行业工人）的收入变化，我们根据其工作恢复情况，对经历过工业事故的工人进行了调查。我们使用了第五次工人赔偿保险面板研究的数据。采用重复测量方差分析比较了工业事故前后的年度差异收入，采用线性混合模型根据行业和工作恢复情况调查了工业事故前后收入的变化。通过对工业类别的比较，我们发现建筑行业工人在事故前的收入最高，在事故后收入下降最大。对工业事故后收入变化的回归分析表明，通过行业比较，建筑行业的收入降幅明显大于服务业。通过工作状态的比较，我们发现与那些返回原工作的人相比，重新就业和不返回工作的人的收入降幅更大。与事故前相比，所有行业的工业事故受害者的经济状况都有所下降。能够返回原工作对于保护事故受害者的经济状况很重要。
