The relationship between occupational status and suicide was examined using data from Sacramento County, California. Data were obtained from coroner's records filed routinely on all cases of sudden, violent, or unexpected death since 1925. Occupation- and age-specific suicide rates were calculated for males and age-adjusted for overall comparison for the decades 1945-1954, 1955-1964, and 1965-1974. Findings show an inverse relationship between occupational status and suicide for all age groups over the past 30 years. Over time, male suicide rates have increased particularly for employed males over 65, employed males aged 14 to 24, and males in low-status occupations. General economic insecurity among workers of low socioeconomic status (SES), particularly the elderly, is suggested as a contributing factor to these trends.
利用加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托县的数据，对职业地位与自杀之间的关系进行了研究。数据取自自1925年以来常规存档的验尸官记录，涵盖所有突发、暴力或意外死亡案例。计算了1945 - 1954年、1955 - 1964年和1965 - 1974年这几个十年间男性按职业和年龄划分的自杀率，并进行年龄调整以作总体比较。研究结果显示，在过去30年中，所有年龄组的职业地位与自杀之间呈负相关。随着时间的推移，男性自杀率有所上升，特别是65岁以上的在职男性、14至24岁的在职男性以及从事低地位职业的男性。社会经济地位（SES）较低的工人，尤其是老年人中的普遍经济不安全感，被认为是这些趋势的一个促成因素。
