>Is there any reason to believe, Foxconn employees don't have any other personal/environmental problem causing them to suicide.

It seems #1 reason for sucide is mental illness or chronic pain/disease severely impacting their quality of life.

You need to ask can mentally ill people get employed at foxconn? They would be having interviews like for every other job, and probably the workers are selected based on their efficiency which can exclude a lot of mentally ill people.

If not, then we've to remove the number of people who commit suicide due to chronic health issue or mental illness then compare the data again.

Not my area of expertise, but someone with depression or similar disease should be able to interview and function well in company for most of days. Particularly someone very smart may have problem with communication intensive roles, but may excel in repetitive/manual tasks.
