Jobs with the highest suicide rates in the country
Humor health is about improving mental health. These are the jobs with the highest suicide rates in the US (via NIOSH):
1. Medical Doctors
2. Dentists
3. Police Officers
5. Financial Services
6. Real Estate Agents
7. Electricians
8. Lawyers
9. Farmers
10. Pharmacists
I was surprised how many white-collar jobs are on the list. (Interestingly, in Britain it is mostly blue collar jobs.) Policing is especially stressful job in my mind. In any case, you or someone you know can call the Suicide Hotline at 800-273-TALK (8255) to get support. There is no minimum age (I just read a 14-year-old girl committed suicide after getting bullied relentlessly by four classmates) and it is available 24 hours.
