Construction workers are four times more likely to commit suicide than the average American — and more than any other occupation, a top trade group warned.

Hardhats are also a whopping six times more likely to die from suicide than on-the-job injuries, according to leaders of the Building Trade Employers’ Association’s New York chapter, which shared the grim statistics during the group’s SAFEBUILD conference in Midtown Thursday.

More than 6,000 construction workers died of suicide across the country in 2022, according to Center for Disease Control data.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
