Suicide surge isn't on Wall Street

This story tells us the truth of the increase in suicides in the U.S. Most people believed that this increase took place on Wall Street.

But really, with recent studies, the Yankees have been able to realize that this is not true. And indeed the suicide rate has increased in the lower classes or as we are known in Chile, "working class". This is, perhaps they are more affected by the threat of unemployment. For example in the last year the number of suicides increased from 5 to 15 among housekeeping workers and 13 to 24 among transport workers.

The increase in suicides in general has increased this year, reached worrying figures, where the number of people who committed suicide at work increased by 28% to an all time high of 251 last year.

Returning to the belief that greater numbers of suicides were made on Wall Street, the statistics in U.S. continue to show the opposite: The number of people in "Management occupations" who killed themselves fell from 35 cases (2007) 34 cases (2008).

The article at the end tells us that the wounds by firearms suicides accounted for 130 of the U.S. work, plus 78-strangulation, 18 cases of poisoning and 3 cuts..
