> The financial sector has always had one of the highest rates of suicide, when ranked by profession. Why the sudden concern?
The current economy. And all of the banker’s deaths in the last 2 months. AlsoI need to know when I need to withdraw all my accounts and head to the bunker...: )
“And all of the banker’s deaths in the last 2 months”
See, this is what I don’t get. All we have is some websites publishing stories these deaths, trying to make it appear as if there is some “wave” of deaths. What we don’t have is anyone saying “X number of people in the financial sector committed suicide or died violently by this time last year, so there is a Y % spike”. No, everyone is leaving out the crucial information as to whether there is an increase, a decrease, or no change at all from historical levels. Yet, we know that the financial sector always has a high rate of suicides, so you would think that would be an important thing to compare before going all paranoid.
