An August 2023 CDC report found that people working in food preparation and service face a much higher risk of dying from drug overdoses compared to other professions, second only to construction workers. The rate of overdose deaths is worryingly high – about 130 deaths for every 100,000 workers.
In Georgia, according to figures from the Department of Public Health (DPH), Food Preparation and Serving Related Occupations accounted for at least 224 suicides from 2017-2021.
