Abstract
The relationship between occupational status, from 1950–1971, for white males residing in the state of Washington and the probability of suicide is examined. The Edwards scale of socioeconomic grouping is used as an indicator of socioeconomic status; and the Proportionate Mortality Ratio as an indicator of relative suicidal risk by occupation. 183 occupations were ranked into eight socioeconomic levels. We found no relationship between socioeconomic status and the suicide rate.
