Increase Seen in U.S. Suicide Rate Since Recession
The rate of suicide in the United States rose sharply during the first few years since the start of the recession, a new analysis has found.
"The research team linked the suicide rate to unemployment, using numbers
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
Every rise of 1 percent in unemployment was accompanied by an increase
in the suicide rate of roughly 1 percent, it found. A similar
correlation has been found in some European countries since the
recession.
The analysis found that the link between unemployment and suicide was about the same in all regions of the country."
