Barely 31 years old, Jodie left behind 2 young children, a loving husband and devastated relatives and friends. 2008, marked a tragic jump in the number of workplace suicides of nearly 30% over the year before and soon to be released numbers for 2009 may well be higher.
Unfortunately even the USDOL admits numerous incidents aren't reported since their data does not reflect incidents that happened at home instead of on the jobsite and are difficult to confirm as job related. Their figures show the most vulnerable groups are males (94%), aged 45-54 (36%), and white (78%).
As stress factors increase in today's harsh economic climate, Jodie's Aunt reminds us: "The fact that this was allowed to happen to her is an abomination...it has to be ended. No Jodies should die."
