10 Jobs With the Highest Suicide Rates

Teachers and librarians have the lowest suicide rate while farmers and fishermen have the highest, according to a CDC study of 12,300 suicides in 17 states in 2012. Why the discrepancy? Researchers say "job-related isolation and demands, stressful work environments, and work-home imbalance, as well as socioeconomic inequities" likely play a role, per the AP. Here are the 10 fields as grouped by the CDC with the highest rates, based on the number of suicides per 100,000 workers:

1. Farming, fishing, and forestry: 84.5
2. Carpenters, miners, electricians, construction trades: 53.3
3. Mechanics and those who do installation, maintenance, repair: 47.9
4. Factory and production workers: 34.5
5. Architecture and engineering: 32.2
6. Police, firefighters, corrections workers, others in protective services: 30.5
7. Arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media: 24.3
