"A Grave Social Ill": America’s Unworking Men
http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-idle...men-1472769641
There are now over 93 Million people not in the labor force. These numbers compare to the recessionary days of 1977. According to the WSJ article: "During the past half-century, work rates for U.S. males spiraled relentlessly downward. America is now home to a vast army of jobless men who are no longer even looking for work—roughly seven million of them age 25 to 54, the traditional prime of working life." Sad. |
Damn robots and wimmin are sapping our precious bodily fluids. :rolleyes:

The disenchanted/disgruntled white male is The Donald's base. While a bit disenchanted, I enjoy competing and am not disgruntled. :) |
There was another thread about 10 million missing men.
