Suicide rates in the United States have soared to a 30-year high, with the most striking surge among middle-aged women and white people, according to federal data released Friday.
Of the top 10 causes of death including cancer, strokes, heart disease everything else went down but suicide went up, he said. Its particularly striking among women, because they have traditionally had much lower suicide rates.
For women between the ages of 45 and 64, the suicide rate jumped 63 percent in the 15-year period. It rose 43 percent for men in the same age group, according to the data.

Every month I see several “Passed away at this home” in the obits. No other info.
And when the career tanks there’s nothing to fall back on. Employers already don’t want older people and it’s easy to become superfluous in a crappy economy.
How we interpret history also changes the future.
E.g., Adm. Mahan’s 1890 book on the history of sea power led directly to the naval arms race between Germany and England that led to WW1.
That plus White guilt.
The suicides must be acting-out their “white privilege”...avoiding paying reparations.
Watch “Glengarry Glenn Ross” sometime. It’s a wonder more middle-aged White people don’t off themselves.
1. You’re a crypto RAPIST, and as a dirty HONKY you descended from smallpox-blanket distributing CRIMINALS..!
2. The earth will BOIL and now it’s just a matter of time..!
3. No, all our positions are...FILLED. We will keep your resume on file.
4. I don’t feel you’re my soul-mate any more. My lawyer says I need self-actualization. Uh...and the house and 1/2 your pension. Direct all calls and emails you want me to see to HIM, stalker.

Strangely enough, during that period of time, almost no new jobs have been created in this nation.
We have 40-80 million people unable to find work.
What could go wrong?
I just don’t get it? /s
Boomers coming to realize that their college education was wrong.
“Yes. I was going to say destruction of the family and loss of jobs.”
Those are key elements, but the ability to weather any of that comes from faith and ones spirituality, and that is also sorely lost in too much of what passes for the modern world.
Useful idiots of feminism without their first husbands, and drugs.
A feature, not a bug to the marxists in this country.
And...data as shown the few new jobs created are filled by foreigners...
Note that the suicide rate for white middle aged men has also gone up sharply just not quite as much as for women.
A throw away society with throw away people.
Subscribed. Thank you.
They were planning to cash in their white privilege, but when they looked for it, they could not find it.
My Regime is more effective than I hoped!
I agree. That’s the age group that’s getting hammered by off shoring.
