You’re 45-60 years old. Laid off. Mortgage to pay, kids in college, food and other cost soaring. Manufacturing jobs shipped to China and Mehico. Construction and service jobs (at minimumu wage)? Good luck with that having to complete with Hordes of illegals.
I think it's more of the childless ones that off themselves. Same problems though: laid off, costs soaring, and no reason to continue the charade. From a google search: "Living alone and being single increase the risk of suicide"
Sucide does not take the pain away it just gives it to some one else And i perdict lots of folks maybe even me.. that will be my retirement plan
I agree. That’s the age group that’s getting hammered by off shoring.
What about - husband dies, leaves, she’s never worked in all those years. She will NOT be getting a good job. Men her age want 20-somethings. She isn’t wanted at the couple’s gatherings any more. That feeling of being alone poor and helpless could do it.
Don’t forget the impact of affirmative action in this as well; it is practically impossible to hire white guys (especially in government work, but throughout the private sector as well).
