Comparing the suicides of more than 22,000 people across 17 states in 2012 and 2015, researchers found males working in construction and extraction took their lives the most often, a rate of roughly 44 per 100,000 “civilian noninstitutionalized working persons” for construction workers and 53 per 100,000 for extraction workers.
Men working in the arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media came in second — an increase of 47 percent during the years studied, according to the CDC. Installation, maintenance and repair rounded out the top three for males in 2015.
Comparatively, in 2015, women working in arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media had the highest suicide rates for females, while women in protective services came in second. The third were women who worked in health care support, according to the study.
“Among both males and females, the lowest suicide rate in 2015 was observed in Education, Training, and Library occupations,” the CDC reported.

Article doesn't address life styles. Artist are more prone to do drugs (wow that may be incorrect now that I think about it) but that's the impression I have always felt or was told. Some construction workers make very little income or have accidents that appear to be suicide. Health care for terminal patients can take a tool on a care taker. The other workers have stress but not enough to commit sucidie. This article proves nothing. What about college kids. Or is it the college's don't report for fear of low enrollment. I know someone who was a nurse who committed sucidie because her husband cheated on her not because she was a nurse.
