How can work affect my lifespan?

Michael Largo (Author, "Final Exits") gives expert video advice on: Are employers at a high risk of being killed by their employees?; What are the deadliest occupations?; Which occupations have a lower life-expectancy? and more...

Being employed is actually better than being unemployed. Over ten percent greater chance of committing suicide among the unemployed than those who work. Even if you work sixty hours a week, it's better to have a job than not, as far as suicide statistics are concerned.

There's over 250 homicides a year, usually occurring between women and workers that have had a love relationship gone bad. It's easier to hide from or move to different locations, but it's very difficult to change your job. So, office romances are one of the leading causes of homicides.
