Letter: Story about suicide frequency by job is completely false
My guess is that the Associated Press story (TCH, July 1) headlined “Suicide by Job” is mislabeled and completely false.
I became a safety engineer at Hanford and the article appears to me to be a listing of accident frequency by jobs. Of course some jobs are more dangerous, but that says nothing about suicide. We are extremely lucky to have gutsy people who do hard jobs.
If the Centers for Disease Control indeed prepared this list, they must have used an inexperienced, not too bright understaff. Some CDC manager should be fired if this is just a management error.
