High Suicide Rate Due To Unemployment

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
(Thomas Edison)

Life expectancy on the Gurnos estate in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, is 20 years below the UK average – the same as it was for British men in the 1930s depression.
Men here can expect to live only 58.8 years.
The grim statistics are blamed on poor diet, heavy smoking and a high suicide rate due to unemployment.

‘They almost earn nothing but if I put them next to my hedge-fund friends, I know who is happier’.
(Actor Hugh Grant on the nurses who cared for his mother in her last days).
