We focused on white men because they represented by far the largest data set. Data can't be compared across demographics because each suicide rate is compared to the average rate for a particular demographics.
我们的数据集中于白人男性的原因是目前他们的数据组占了最大的比例。因为每一项自杀率都是针对特定人口进行对比的,所以无法对不同人口间数据进行交叉比对。
For white women, the most suicidal jobs with a large sample size were physicians (2.78 times higher than average); sales related occupations (2.42 times higher than average); and police and detectives (2.03 times higher than average).
对于白人女性,样本量大,自杀率最高的工作是医生(高出平均值2.78倍);涉及销售的工作(高出均值2.42倍);警察及侦探类(高出均值2.03倍)。
For black men, the most suicidal jobs with a large sample size were police & detectives (2.55 times higher than average); furnace operators (2.01 times higher than average); and electricians (1.78 times higher than average).
