Overdoses

These young Americans in their 20s and 30s earn less money without a college degree, and are more likely to die young from suicide or drug overdoses than the generations that came before them, according to a new report.

Death rates of people aged 25 to 34 shot up 20% between 2008 and 2016. Most of that increase was the result of rising suicides and drug overdoses.

Opioid overdoses caused more than 42,000 deaths in 2016.

Deaths from drug overdoses are increasing.
