Don’t Facebook and Google each have over 100K employees just in their Bay Area offices? This is like FoxConn[1]. You can be doing substantially better than average and still have constant bad news by virtue of your size alone.

Was their suicide rate lower or higher then that of employees with a similar socioeconomic status?

No...Google has 100k employees worldwide. Facebook is something like 30k worldwide.
