This table breaks down the CPS workers and the number of investigations that each must handle. The first column lists the States. The second column lists the number of screening and intake workers. The third column lists the number of investigation and assessment workers. The next column lists screening, intake, investigation, and assessment workers. Next are listed the screened-in investigations or assessments and the final column lists the screened-in investigations or assessments per investigation worker. Only States that were able to report workforce data by screening and intake workers and investigation or assessment workers and provided data for screened-in investigations were included in calculations for screened-in investigations per investigation or assessment worker. The weighted average number of screened-in investigations or assessments per investigation worker was 63.1.
