You can't compare a corporation's suicide rate to a nation's because corporations filter out people through their hiring process.

You have to compare foxconn's suicide rate to other corporations.

This is a very good point, as unemployment is a possible trigger for depression and suicide.

However after some googling I could not find comparable statistics (sucide rates in large Chinese manufacturing companies). Do you know any sources?
