Today we take on a very serious topic when we discuss the alarming suicide rates among construction workers, highlighting data from a detailed NBC News article by Shannon Petty. We examine the workplace pressures, long hours, and cultural stigmas that contribute to the mental health crisis in the construction industry. We stress the need for greater awareness and support, while also drawing connections to broader issues within the labor market and society's attitudes towards mental health.
