Were all 10 of these suicides from FoxConn's Shenzhen plant (population 330,000)?

If so, perhaps a fair basis of comparison would be the suicide rate at other manufacturing plants, along with the general suicide rate for working employees.

I imagine anyone with work and employment is less likely to commit suicide than the general population (though I haven't seen the statistics). The question is, is working at FoxConn more stressful than other comparable employers?
