What are the rates of mental illness amongst abattoir workers?

I'm looking for evidence of the claim that abattoir workers suffer higher levels of mental illness than the general population, in relation to arguments about vegetarianism. I've been unable to find any definite information on this on the web.

Answers:
They are not known to be any different than the general population. However, since most of the workers are male, their rate of illness will be somewhat less than the national average, since women have a higher rate of illness than men. However, slaughterhouses have a higher rate of physical injury than many other occupations.
