5. Architecture and Engineering
Rate of suicide per 100,000 population: 32.2
While architects and engineers hold a very esteemed position in society, their suicide rate indicates that they may not be too satisfied with the job itself. Again, as I mentioned in the introduction, reasons for a large number of suicides cannot be accurately determined. However, that does not negate the fact that architecture and engineering occupations hold quite a high spot on our list of jobs with the highest suicide rates in America.
