"Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren’t doing diddly-squat. They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men." What percent of women?

"As a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years"

This is just another millennial attack piece that doesn't have an obvious title about it.

It should just be titled "Millennials ruin workforce percentages" and be done with it.

After reading this article, it's clear the writers are really angry that so many men are not working to pay taxes, and only for their own benefit. I bet there are many people who would love to upend all these alternative income sources in this screed. Anything to get them back on plantation.

Not sure about "working age" but we passed the point of fewer than half of Americans working some time ago. Of course it's more for women than for men.

It's wrong anyway. The most accurate and updated report shows 74% of men and 46% of women. Men of course almost doubling the workforce of women, while somehow women still account for 85% of consumer spending.

"They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either."

Maybe consider the facts that at the workplace there's little protecting men from abuse and harrassment. Complaints are either brushed off or worse the man is fired, we've seen examples of this. Is a lawsuit against the company always worth the headache?

How about the diversity quotas and mandatory "woke" training? Don't you think that quotas actively discourage men from applying to a job knowing they're not wanted for being born with the "wrong" genitals in the eyes of the employer? Does any self respecting man want to agree to an indoctrination session that generalizes, stereotypes and vilifies men?

Anything about issues regarding equal pay when men in more recent times have been found to be payed less? Probably not, still pretty new. Anyways now onto the women, how about you also list what percent of women don't have a job or aren't looking for one despite all the unfair advantages they have simply for being born with the "right" genitals ranging from support groups to programs designed to discriminate against men and hire them specifically?

In my opinion though, given how most employers are shit anyways, it's better for both men and women to start their own businesses/gigs and/or make money doing the things they enjoy even if it's not technically considered a full time "job."

I quit looking since the answer was always no.

Very sexist.

Many comments would not be applied to women, like "living off a partner's income"..... hello?

Also "aren't doing diddly-squat" means "not declaring income to IRS".

So unemployment in US is 33%?

Own-Flatworm4787 · 2021-09-18T22:45:15+00:00

A bit ridiculous they didn't include women at all

IronJohnMRA · 2021-09-18T19:57:31+00:00

What percent of women?

It doesn't matter to them. Women can do no wrong. Only men can. That is what this article is about.

Edit: I can't read graphs

Yikes, it's true. The article cited Bureau of Labor Statistics, so I went and I can confirm.

Hang in there. Know your value. And don't let anyone -media, government, work, school tell you you were born incorrect.

SwiftStrik3 · 2021-09-19T01:47:20+00:00

Well gee I wonder if businesses not paying living wages has anything to do with it.

Laying flat flooding to the west.
