[QUOTE="KJ, post: 78937, member: 1"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7549077/[/URL] [HEADING=2]Results[/HEADING] The effect of a US$1 increase in the minimum wage ranged from a 3.4% decrease (95% CI 0.4 to 6.4) to a 5.9% decrease (95% CI 1.4 to 10.2) in the suicide rate among adults aged 18–64 years with a high school education or less. We detected significant effect modification by unemployment rate, with the largest effects of minimum wage on reducing suicides observed at higher unemployment levels. [HEADING=2]Conclusion[/HEADING] Minimum wage increases appear to reduce the suicide rate among those with a high school education or less, and may reduce disparities between socioeconomic groups. Effects appear greatest during periods of high unemployment. [/QUOTE]
