QUOTE and LINK the NEWS

Hello!

It have been said that Japanese people work too hard.This article intoroduce the relation between suicide and overwork. I think Japanese society is needed to be reexamined.

With the number of suicides in the country increasing, observers are pointing
out that suicides due to stress from overwork also have grown.
The number of people who committed suicide increased by 938 to 33,093 from 2006 to 2007, the second-highest number ever recorded, according to a report released by the National Police Agency on Thursday. The report said the number of suicides
committed by people in their 30s and 60s reached record highs, while the number
of suicides by people in their 40s also increased.
