Why America’s men aren’t working

Maybe, I don't know, but just maybe, the reason that men are opting out is that it's no longer worth it. Work hard to get passed up for quotas. Work hard and still get zero respect, because it's just expected. Could it be that more men are getting fed up with being to how great they have it while being pushed out, craped on, and generally taken for granted. Nah, couldn't be.

A better question would be: what are America's men working for?

Also: not all work is, erm, known by the statistics bureaus. Or the IRS.

Lack of diploma condemns a lot of people to subsistance-level wages, which are a lot easir to achieve off the books.

Lack of work is an issue lots of places. The government around here fly people in from third world countries to take all the factory jobs every year, so they can pay shitty wages. I am not driving an hour and a half each way to go work at walmart or canadian tire or some other shit job like that lol. I didn't learn skilled trades for years to be doing that shit.

Illegal immigrants totally fucked the construction business in the tri-state where I used to live. It was either hire illegal immigrants to compete with every other crew out there with illegal immigrants, or get the fuck out. So I left, I shouldn't have to be a criminal to compete in an honest business, but there it is.

The lower the wage, the more likely workers are to pass up the job altogether.

Yes, men are not working, because the wages are not worth it. Over the last decades most wealth got redistributed to the top. There is not much more wealth to suck out of the American people for the wealthy, so it is not worth it anymore for the rich to pay anyone decently to do so, and it is not worth it anymore for anyone to take such a job.
