You&#x27;d probably have to go back a ways to at least the early 1900s I&#x27;d guess to get the right combination of horribleness to get that. These days workplace suicides are relatively rare 1-2 per million workers. Also being poor sucks but US workers are waaay more mobile than a rural Chinese person who move into a company town from their home town&#x2F;village so before they&#x27;d get to &#x27;I&#x27;ll kill myself in protest&#x27; they&#x27;ll probably get to &#x27;I&#x27;ll change jobs or quit&#x27; first.
