SE: standard error; CI: confidence interval. Significant associations are in bold. The multinomial logistic regression model included the following variables: occupation, age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, current employment, marital status, family income, health insurance, region, self-rated health, 12-month emergency department visits, 12-month substance use disorders, and 12-month major depressive episode. Among the 184,300 s sampled adults who were currently employed, 9000 had suicidal ideation in the past year, and 1300 attempted suicide in the past year.
