The Guardian article on Dec 6, 2017 quotes the stat from Newsweek which has a date of July 13, 2016 quoting a 2014 study showing the number at 15.2 per 100,000. The other cited source is a CDC Study from 2016 with data up until 2012 that shows Farmers, Foresters, and Fishermen have the highest suicide rates of any profession in the US. Strangely, the CDC study puts the number at 84.5 per 100,000[1]. I would really like to see a bit more rigor and comparison so I know what is really going on. 1) https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6525a1.htm#contribAff https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6525a1.htm#contribA... table 2
