Which sector had the highest number of nonfatal occupational injuries in 2008?

Manufacturing
Retail trade
Education and health services
State and local government

The correct answer is: Manufacturing

Out of the given options, manufacturing had the highest number of nonfatal occupational injuries in 2008. While retail trade, education and health services, and state and local government may have also had a significant number of injuries, they were not as high as the number in the manufacturing sector. This could be due to the nature of work involved in manufacturing, which often includes heavy machinery and physical labor, making it a higher-risk industry compared to the others listed. Thus, A is the correct answer.
