The other day we found some good news about The Great Recession. The rate of violent crime has actually fallen, not increased as you might expect from wide spread financial stress caused by the Contraction.
Now the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the suicide rate among people 45 to 54 is at an all time time, and has surpassed the usual group with the highest suicide rate, those 80 and over.
Men in the 45 to 54 age group are three times more likely than women to commit suicide.
Indeed, these are difficult, trying times.
