They employ a million people. The Foxconn suicide rate is around 7-14% the national average at 1.5 per 100,000 employees per year. Taking on 3,000 extra employees means that statistically they'd see an additional death over a 20 year period.
For a reference point heart disease kills around 800 per 100,000 in the US per year.
