The suicide rate in middle-aged Americans leaped an
astonishing 28 percent over the course of only a decade, according to a
government report released Thursday.
Even more shocking is the rate among middle aged white
men and women. Suicides in that group increased an astounding 40 between 1999
and 2010.
Not surprisingly, those years saw the worst recession in
recent memory and the accompanying mortgage crisis, which proved catastrophic
for many.
Meanwhile, rates in younger and older people held steady.
And there was little change among middle-aged blacks, Hispanics and most other
racial and ethnic groups.
ad: Over the course of a decade,
suicide rates in middle aged Americans soared by 28 percent
Why did so many middle-aged whites — that is, those who
are 35 to 64 years old — take their own lives?
One theory suggests the recession caused more emotional
trauma in whites, who tend not to have the same kind of church support and
extended families that blacks and Hispanics do.
The economy was in recession from the end of 2007 until
mid-2009. Even well afterward, polls showed most Americans remained worried
about weak hiring, a depressed housing market and other problems.
Pat Smith, violence-prevention program coordinator for
the Michigan Department of Community Health, said the recession — which hit
manufacturing-heavy states particularly hard — may have pushed already-troubled
people over the brink.
Color lines: The rate was even higher, 40 percent, when
only white middle aged people were considered
Being unable to find a job or settling for one with lower
pay or prestige could add "that final weight to a whole chain of
events," she said.
Another theory notes that white baby boomers have always
had higher rates of depression and suicide, and that has held true as they've
hit middle age.
During the 1999-2010 period, suicide went from the eighth
leading cause of death among middle-aged Americans to the fourth, behind
cancer, heart disease and accidents.
"Some of us think we're facing an upsurge as this
generation moves into later life," said Dr. Eric Caine, a suicide
researcher at the University of Rochester.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released
the report, which was based on death certificates. People ages 35 to 64 account
for about 57 percent of suicides.
The report contained surprising information about how
middle-aged people kill themselves: During the period studied, hangings
overtook drug overdoses in that age group, becoming the No. 2 manner of
suicide. But guns remained far in the lead and were the instrument of death in
nearly half of all suicides among the middle-aged in 2010.
Recession: Experts say the spike
occurred concurrently with the recession and mortgage crisis
The CDC does not collect gun ownership statistics and did
not attempt to correlate suicide rates with gun ownership.
For the entire U.S. population, there were 38,350 suicides in 2010, making it the nation's 10th leading cause of death, the CDC said.
For the entire U.S. population, there were 38,350 suicides in 2010, making it the nation's 10th leading cause of death, the CDC said.
The overall national suicide rate climbed from 12
suicides per 100,000 people in 1999 to 14 per 100,000 in 2010, a 15 percent
increase.
For the middle-aged, the rate jumped from about 14 per
100,000 to nearly 18 — a 28 percent increase. Among whites in that age group,
it spiked from about 16 to 22.
Suicide prevention efforts have tended to concentrate on
teenagers and the elderly, but research over the past several years has begun
to focus on the middle-aged. The new CDC report is being called the first to
show how the trend is playing out nationally and to look in depth at the racial
and geographic breakdown.
The suicide rate registered a statistically significant
increase in 39 out of 50 states. The West and the South had the highest suicide
rates. It's not clear why, but one factor may be cultural differences in
willingness to seek help during tough times, said Thomas Simon, one of the
authors of the CDC report.
Also, it may be more difficult to find counseling and
mental health services in certain places, he added.

unchanged. Pictured, participants in the Walk for Suicide Awareness in

With the support of 70 percent of its citizens, Arizona
has ordered sheriffs and police to secure the border and remove illegal aliens,
half a million of whom now reside there.
Arizona acted because the U.S. government has abdicated
its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion and refuses to
enforce America's immigration laws.
"We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting
for Washington to act," said Gov. Jan Brewer. "But decades of
inaction and misguided policy have created an unacceptable situation."

What is the response of Barack Obama, who took an oath to

He is siding with the law-breakers. He is pandering to

He has denounced Arizona as "misguided." He has

Economic downturn cited as suicide rate jumps for those
between 35 and 64
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report said the annual suicide rate
jumped 28.4% from 1999 to 2010.
By Robert
Dominguez / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Published: Thursday, May 2, 2013, 10:27 PM
The Great Recession may have been at
the root of a great depression that caused suicides to soar among middle-aged
Americans, a government report speculates.
The annual suicide rate for adults ages 35 to 64 spiked in the past decade,
according to a study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And a shaky economy that nose-dived into the worst financial crisis since
the Depression may be the biggest reason why.
The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report said the annual suicide
rate jumped 28.4% from 1999-2010.
It was the biggest increase of any age group, said the CDC, citing “the
recent economic downturn” as one of the “possible contributing factors” for the
increase.
“Historically, suicide rates tend to correlate with business cycles, with
higher rates observed during times of economic hardship,” the report said.
“While the analysis doesn’t allow us to answer that definitely, a recent
study found the economic recession was strongly associated with suicide among
working-age adults,” CDC researcher Dr. Thomas Simon told the Daily News.
The findings were hardly a surprise to Dr. Dan Iosifescu, director of mood
and anxiety disorders program at Mount Sinai Hospital.
“Most people who commit suicide tend to suffer from major depression, and
this vulnerability tends to be brought forth by very stressful situations like
losing one’s home or job,” Iosifescu said.

The
social crisis in America
4
May 2013
US stock markets
surged Friday to new record highs as Wall Street traders seized on a tepid jobs
report to engage in a fresh orgy of speculation.
The official line
promoted by the Obama administration is that the United States is in the midst
of an accelerating economic recovery. For the corporate and financial elite
that runs America, and the section of the upper-middle class that hangs on its
coattails, a soaring stock market is indeed what defines economic health. For
the vast majority of the population, however, life five years after the Wall
Street crash of 2008 is dominated by the daily struggle to make ends meet.
Official
statistics—of poverty, unemployment, indebtedness, declining wages—give a
glimpse of this social reality, which the mass media does its best to obscure.
One sobering statistic
that emerged on Thursday points to the social reality that underlies the
euphoria on Wall Street. According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the past decade has seen a sharp increase in the US suicide rate.
Among those aged 35
to 64, suicides soared nearly 30 percent between 1999 and 2010. More people in
the US now kill themselves than die in car accidents. The fundamental cause is
no mystery. It is the economic crisis, which has brought with it a rise in
unemployment, poverty, malnutrition, illness and homelessness, and all of the
personal and family problems that go along with these scourges.
The social crisis
affects all sections of the working population—young and old, working and
unemployed—of all races, genders and ethnicities.
For millions of older
workers, the prospect of economic security and a decent retirement is growing
ever more distant as the elderly are forced to dip into their savings and take
on ever greater debt just to survive. The debt of Americans aged 65 to 74 is
rising faster than that of any other age group, according to Federal Reserve
figures. For a typical household led by someone 65 or older, household debt
grew by more than 50 percent between 2000 and 2011.
The already
insufficient benefits provided by Social Security and Medicare, the federal
retirement and health care programs, are being scaled back. Fewer and fewer
retirees have a guaranteed pension. Among those that do, many have resorted to
borrowing against their pensions and paying usurious interest rates to
unscrupulous lenders.
Last week, the New
York Times reported that companies that offer pension advances often charge
interest rates, after factoring in fees, of between 27 and 106 percent. Older
households spent 7.1 percent of their incomes to pay off debt in 2010, up from
4.5 percent three years earlier, according to figures from the Employee Benefit
Research Institute.
Earlier this month,
Wells Fargo reported that the number of older workers borrowing from their
401(k) retirement accounts—and paying penalties to do so—surged 28 percent at
the end of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
Conditions are no
better at the other end of the age spectrum. Almost 16 million children in the
US, or 22 percent, live in families whose income is below the federal poverty
line, according to the National Center for Children in Poverty. Last month, the
United Nation’s Children’s Fund released a report showing that, among developed
countries, the United States ranks 26 out of 29, behind Greece and just above Lithuania,
Latvia and Romania, in terms of the percentage of children living in poverty.
Every year, 1.3
million students drop out of high school in the United States, and, according
to the National Center for Education Statistics, low-income students fail to
graduate at six times the rate of higher-income youth.
Those students who
get to college are increasingly saddled with student loans they will never be
able to pay off. Between 2003 and 2012, the portion of 25-year-olds with
student debt rose from 25 percent to 43 percent.
In the face of
unemployment and falling wages, marriage and home ownership are becoming too
expensive for many. Home ownership rates are at the lowest level in eighteen
years, while the portion of children born out of wedlock has grown from 31
percent in 2005 to 36 percent in 2011, according to Census Bureau figures
released this week.
The Census report
noted, “Children who are born to unmarried parents are more likely to live in
poverty and to have poor developmental outcomes.” In 2010, 42.3 percent of
families headed by single females with children were in poverty, according to
the Demos Project.
Overall, the current
US poverty rate, estimated at 16.1 percent, is the highest since 1965.
According to the Census Bureau's supplemental poverty measure, there are a
staggering 49.7 million people in the United States who are in poverty. More
than 48 percent of the population is poor or “near poor,” meaning they make
less than double the official poverty rate.
Nor is poverty confined to the unemployed.
According to a report issued last month by the US Census Bureau, the percentage
of the population who are “working poor” rose dramatically, from 5.1 percent in
2006 to 7 percent in 2011. One quarter all those in poverty—about 10.4 million
people—are working.
The bulk of new jobs are in low-paid
service industries, and even manufacturing workers increasingly make as little
as $10 an hour—a poverty wage for a family of four.
The effects of poverty are myriad.
According to one recent study, 80 million adults in the US, about 43 percent of
the total population, did not get medical care sometime in 2012 because they
could not afford it. This is up a shocking 17 million since 2003.
Growing poverty and
social distress are treated essentially as non-issues by the mass media.
According to a recent study by the Pew Research center, the US media focused
just one fifth of one percent of its news coverage on the topic of poverty. “In
no year did poverty coverage even come close to accounting for as little as one
percent of the news hole,” Mark Jurkowitz, the project's associate director,
told Harvard’s Nieman Foundation.
In an earlier period,
such indices of social distress would have been treated as a national disgrace.
Today, far from proposing any measures to address the social crisis, the
Republicans and Democrats, with the Obama administration in the lead, vie with
each other over how best to slash Social Security, Medicare and other vital
social programs.
There is a deep and
growing anger directed against the entire social system and a ruling elite that
grows rich from the impoverishment of the broad masses of the people. This
sentiment can find no expression within the framework of the existing political
system.
The critical question
in the coming mass struggles against economic oppression is the building of a
revolutionary leadership to arm the movement with a conscious socialist and
revolutionary program. That means building the Socialist Equality Party and its
youth movement, the International Youth and Students for Social Equality.

Low-wage, part-time jobs dominate tepid rise in US payrolls
By Barry Grey
4 May 2013
4 May 2013
The employment report for April released Friday by the US Labor
Department reflects continuing economic stagnation in the midst of the deepest
social crisis in America since the Great Depression. The net increase of
165,000 in US non-farm payrolls for the month continues a tepid pace of
job-creation that is far slower than the consistent rate of 250,000 to 300,000
new jobs per month required to significantly impact the jobs crisis.
Moreover, the vast bulk of the new jobs being created are in
low-wage service industries or in temporary or part-time positions,
underscoring that the “new normal” offered by American (and world) capitalism
is near-poverty conditions for most of those workers able to find employment.
The Obama administration, the media and Wall Street hailed the
report as “good news,” and both the Dow Jones Industrial average and the
Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index soared to new record highs.
In remarks dripping with complacency and indifference, Acting
Labor Secretary Seth D. Harris said: “Significant gains this month in
professional and business services, health care and retail employment are
indications that many of the jobs being added are providing good, middle-class
opportunities for the unemployed.”
In a similar vein, Alan Krueger, chairman of Obama’s Council of
Economic Advisers, declared, “While more work remains to be done, today’s
employment report provides further evidence that the US economy is continuing
to recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression.”
The Labor Department reported that the private sector added
176,000 new jobs in April, while government payrolls fell by 11,000. The bulk
of the decline in government jobs, 8,000 of the total, was due to federal cuts.
This likely reflects the initial impact of the $85 billion in federal
“sequester” spending cuts for the current fiscal year signed into law by
President Obama on March 1. Federal layoffs and furloughs are expected to mount
in the coming months as a result of the sequester.
Since the supposed end in June 2009 of the recession that
officially began in December 2007, the public sector has lost 741,000 jobs, the
vast bulk in local government cuts, including massive teacher layoffs. The
Obama administration has tacitly supported this assault on public services and
public employees, rejecting any serious federal aid to cities and states
financially crippled by the impact of the economic crisis.
The Labor Department upwardly revised its payroll estimates for
February and March by a combined total of 114,000 jobs. On the basis of the new
figures for these months, job-creation in the fourth quarter of 2012 averaged
209,000 a month and that for the first quarter of 2013 was 206,000. This means
the revised figure for March (138,000) and the figure for April mark a sharp slowdown
in job-creation.
The official jobless rate fell from 7.6 percent in March to 7.5
percent in April. The Labor Department reported that, unlike in March, when a
decline in the rate occurred because of the exit of 486,000 people from the
labor market, in April there was a small increase (210,000) in the number of
people who started looking for work. The total number of those officially
counted as unemployed dropped by 83,000 to 11,659,000.
However, there were still 416,000 fewer people in the labor force
last month than there were in January of this year.
Manufacturing jobs remained flat, while construction declined by
6,000 and mining fell by 3,000. Hotels and restaurants added 45,000 jobs,
retail establishments added 29,000, and health care employment grew by 26,000.
These service industries are among the lowest-paying economic sectors.
Temporary employment rose by 30,000. The number of Americans with
part-time jobs who want full-time work jumped by 278,000 to 7.9 million.
A more accurate measure of unemployment, which includes a section
of the discouraged workers who have given up looking for employment and those
working part-time who want a full-time job, was 13.9 percent in April,
accounting for some 22 million people. This so-called “underemployment” rate
last month was 5.1 percentage points higher than at the official start of the
recession.
Another indication in the jobs report of declining living
standards was a fall in weekly hours worked. The figure declined to 34.4 hours
in April from 34.6 in March. This drop in hours, combined with a paltry growth
of 4 cents in hourly wages, means that weekly wages dropped sharply, by $3.39,
a 4.8 percent annualized decline.
The scale of the economic retrogression since the Wall Street
crash of 2008 is indicated by the near-record lows that continue to be recorded
for the labor force participation rate and the share of the population with a
job. The former (the share of people aged 16 and over who are working or
actively looking for work) held steady in April at 63.3 percent, its low of the
crisis and far lower than the pre-recession rate of 66.0 percent in December of
2007.
The share of the population with a job was 58.6 percent in April,
down from 62.7 percent at the official start of the recession and the lowest
proportion since the depth of the recession in the mid-1980s.
There are still 2.6 million fewer non-farm jobs in the US today
than there were at the start of the recession. Taking population growth into
account, 8.7 million new jobs are needed to bring the jobless rate down to what
it was at that time. At the current rate of job-creation, and assuming no new
financial crisis occurred, it would take more than five years to bring the
jobless rate down to what previously were considered normal levels.
Even this dismal prospect is unduly optimistic. The spread of
recession globally, with much of Europe contracting and China slowing
dramatically, along with mounting currency wars, the ongoing debt crisis in
Europe, and social tensions at the breaking point, portend anything but
economic stability in the coming months. Even the stagnant “recovery” in the US
is unsustainable under such conditions.
On Friday, the Commerce Department released the latest in a string
of negative economic indicators. It reported that US factory orders plunged by
4 percent in March, the biggest drop since August. It also reported that
durable goods orders fell 5.8 percent in March, the most in seven months.
Earlier this week, the Institute for Supply Management reported a drop in its
factory index in April.
What the Obama administration and Wall Street were hailing in
Friday’s jobs report was not some sign that mass unemployment and growing
poverty are on the way out. Rather, they were pleased by the prospect of
continued high unemployment combined with just enough growth to sustain the
corporate profit bonanza and accelerated enrichment of the financial elite
currently underway.
High unemployment is not simply the result of impersonal economic
forces. It is a deliberate policy carried out by the Obama administration and
the Federal Reserve, with the support of both big business parties. Since the
2008 crash, they have used mass unemployment as a bludgeon to drive down wages,
slash benefits and impose speedup.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is pumping $85 billion into the
financial markets every month to drive up stock and bond prices and ensure a
further redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top of the economic
ladder. At the Fed’s meeting this week, its policy-making committee suggested
the central bank might increase this subsidy to the banks in the future.
This massive infusion of virtually free credit to the banks does
virtually nothing to create jobs, nor is it intended to. It occurs in the midst
of a furious drive to slash basic social programs on the grounds that “there is
no money” to meet social needs. With the Fed declaring it will continue its
handouts to Wall Street until the jobless rate falls below 6.5 percent, there
is a direct monetary incentive for corporate America to keep unemployment well
above that rate.

fell by more than 50 percent
