Which industry had the highest number of cases of occupational skin diseases in 2007?

Manufacturing
Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting
Construction
Education and health services

The correct answer is: Manufacturing

In 2007, the industry with the highest number of cases of occupational skin diseases was manufacturing. This is because manufacturing typically involves working with chemicals and other substances that can irritate or damage the skin. These substances are often necessary for the production process, making it difficult for workers to avoid exposure. While agriculture, construction, and education and health services may also have hazards that can cause skin diseases, they do not typically have the same level of exposure to chemicals and other substances as the manufacturing industry.
