Bloomberg (9/13, Dmitrieva) reports, “While the suicide rate almost doubled among White non-Hispanics without a bachelor’s degree in the 1992-2019 period to about 31 per 100,000 people, there was almost no increase among those with a degree,” according to National Bureau of Economic Research data. According to Bloomberg, “the broader issue…is that the U.S. economy and society ‘are no longer providing the basis for a good life’ for the less-educated.”
