We have millions of people here, suicide rates are not that high, and no nets. So what is your argument exactly?

- weird-eye-issue 2y agoDid you actually compare suicide rates to China in general? Something tells me you didn't.
- ben_w 2y agoThe US? Your suicide rates are higher, and you do have nets[0]. In their worst year, Foxconn had 15 suicides from 930,000 people for a rate of 1.6 per 100k[1]. The US region with the current lowest rate is the District of Columbia, at 6.1 per 100k; the US national average in Foxconn's worst year was about 13 per 100k[2]. Today, the USA national average ranks them #31 highest in the world with a rate of 14.5 per 100k, while China's national average of 6.7 per 100 is close to your best region (DC) and ranks them #122 (higher rank number means lower rate)[3]. Foxconn, in that year, had a workforce about the same size as the total population of South Dakota. South Dakota in that year had a suicide count of 139 [4].
