a All models are corrected for age, educational attainment and occupational class on the individual level and average yearly temperature and GDP on the country-level (except in the model where these were included as determinant).
b White collar (e.g. legislator, clerk or sales worker).
c Blue collar (e.g. craft trades worker, elementary worker or plant operator).
