> With such a large population sample, (i.e. in Lilly), one would expect to see the same proportion of depressed people as one would in the general population. (Unless working for Lilly was a significanly less depressing job than the average american job :) )
I'm not sure I can agree with that assumption. There is a significant proportion of persons with depression who are not working. So I think applying general population numbers to a subset that has a higher proportion of persons who are currently working may not be the best way to gauge incidence of depression in this subset.
