Newsmax reports, “Suicide rates are soaring, according to federal data released last week. Especially in economically depressed states and job-starved regions like upstate New York.” Stagnating wages and lost jobs are blamed for this tragedy.

Here’s a scary fact: “Suicide kills more middle agers than flu, pneumonia, and diabetes combined.”
