How Much are We Worth?

• Japan places the highest value on a human life, spending $11,728,000 to save a single life through improvements in public safety.
• South Korea spent the least, at a measly $878,000.00 per life saved.
• Health insurance companies value life at $50,000 per year of quality life, a depressingly low number compared to what government entities will pay. Keep your workforce healthy with proper Health & Wellness training.
• The families of suicide bombers receive just $25,000 per suicide.
• While the families that lossed a loved one on 9/11 received an average of $2.1 million per death, families of fallen soldiers receive a maximum of just $400,000. Rush Limbaugh did an interesting piece about this huge disparity back in 2002.

Workforce [Mal] Development?
I recently read that college graduates are taking lower-wage jobs and thus displacing the less educated; a sort of trickle-down effect.
So, what happens when doctors quit practice, enter the work force and displace the grads? Survival of the fittest!
