There would be a national alarm if we had 18 blue-collar workers jump off the roofs of a GM plant. For what it's worth, ~ 18/100,000 is just under the undergrad suicide rate at MIT (http://web.mit.edu/~sdavies/www/mit-suicides/ http://web.mit.edu/~sdavies/www/mit-suicides/). It's been the subject of several stories (CNN and the Boston Globe are the ones I remember), but there most certainly hasn't been a "national alarm." (RIP Fes Mike)
