Are you new to economic downturns? First time?
Oh right, how could I forget the thousands of bodies stacked high in 2009, dead from unemployment.
"a 1 percent increase in the unemployment rate will be associated with 37,000 deaths [including 20,000 heart attacks], 920 suicides, 650 homicides, 4,000 state mental hospital admissions and 3,300 state prison admissions."
The unemployment rate currently sits at 15% and growing.
There was an increase in suicides in 2009 due to the recession.
During recession periods, the number of deaths and, to a lesser extent, the mileage-based death rate, tend to decline. (...) The number of deaths tend to increase following the end of recessionary periods.
