12-2-2004 Study Links Unemployment to Suicide, Early Death

Men and women who've ever dealt with unemployment may have a heightened risk of dying early, particularly from suicide and injuries, a Swedish study suggests.

Among more than 20,600 men and women in a long-running study of twins, those who at the outset said they had ever been unemployed were more likely than their consistently working peers to die over the next 10 to 24 years.

Voss and her colleagues conclude that a lack of work may have "an important impact on mental health."

"Unemployment," they write, "may cause a deterioration of economic situation, downgrading of social status, broken social relations, changed risk behaviors, impaired psychological well-being, and depression, consequences that may develop into severe illness."

Now they know they will not have to put up with me all that long afterall.
 
no big deal, read fast food nation where they actually take out life insurance policies on employees they think will die, and the best part is when they don't share a penny with a widow. i think on example the corporation collected $185,000 after an employee died on the job and the widow had to go on welfare as the company booked it all as profits.

Please pass the .45 son, it's my time to validate another study!
