Why this industry draws claims
Professional and technology employers tend to have salaried, office-based staff, stronger HR infrastructure, and lower turnover than hourly-driven industries. That lowers claim frequency. Exposure still exists — discrimination, harassment, and retaliation can occur anywhere — but the profile is more favorable, which is why these classes often qualify for instant programs.
