Millions of men have dropped out of the workforce, leaving companies struggling to fill jobs: It's"a matter of our national identity"Unemployed men create economy ripple effectsA large number of American men of prime working age — between 25 and 54 years old — are not working or even looking for work, resulting in a major hole in the American economy.
It's not an issue rooted in the unemployment rate, which at 3.5% is the lowest it's been in 50 years. So, what's behind the phenomenon? "We have more jobs than we have people for — about one and a half jobs for every one worker," said Jay Timmons, who leads the National Association of Manufacturers, an advocacy group based in Washington, D.C., that represents thousands of manufactures across the country.
More than 770,000 manufacturing jobs are open right now, according to the latest federal count, from November. The number has surged in recent years as companies reinvest in American-made products — or try to. She suspects some people may be sitting out because of the recent change in how many of us look at work.
You're missing the real, core issue. Society provides no incentives for men these days.
Why do a job that not only will not pay a living wage but has made it clear they don't give a crap about us?
Where's the Stimulus. HEALTH COVERAGE.Bonuses that where Promised .Hire the Mexicans and Venezuelans fork Work Miser Forks Never Again Oligarchs
They won't hire workers over 40
Just discovered this? All over the news cbs. Republicans have been saying this for over a year but, cbs shows their incompetence!
Are women in the same age group out of work? Are ONLY MEN, expected to work? Is this another example of sexist male bashing.
Never stopped. Weak
Where is the fucking laugh react button already. 😂
Especially in the States where they've legalized marijuana
Um not me, I've been looking since mid October and haven't been able to land anything. I definitely need to find work and want to work.
CBS and Mike Rowe insinuate there’s 7 million men mooching off the system without any more than speculation. Don’t really know the bourgeoisie, missing the obvious reason.
This is why Joe’s Unemployment numbers are low. All the Marxists are living off the Working Class!
Id rather be broke, than contribute to this broken, failed system. Im done being treated like shit and having nothing to show for it.
And they are committing violent crime too. Happy Black history month
In other words, there's a ton of scrubs in America these days.
That’s because lame stream media has been trying to demascluinize men for years, wtf you thinks gunna happen when the plan works? 🤡 world
More and more men, and women are not having kids, downsizing home to apartment or rv, men are still working just maybe 2 or 3 part time jobs instead of 1 full time which rarely exists. Still less hours and maybe not even counted in the workforce as full time.
Stop demanding vaccines then!
robots
Why do?
They're all doing gig work like Uber.
This is horrible reporting and a click-bait headline. Delete and do it again after you have actual good information and solid context
You could easily write a book on the reasons why. Pressured for college, disillusionment, overworking, corporate nepotism, bad working hours/conditions, more expensive to work than not, workplace cultures, cutthroat business models, a disregard for male mental/phys health...
Reduce tax Improve job dignity
Y’all comparing now to 1953 is really something. How do these stats look for women? They’re half the flipping population. And some changes have taken place in society over the past 70 years. Also, only allowing someone with a record to do the worst jobs is a huge contributor.
The government's created this situation intentionally, they created this so they could create a dependence on government. Those that are dependent on government are slaves to government.
Maybe if employers offered more than 10 hours a week we'd all go back to fucking work.
How many are formerly incarcerated and don’t qualify for open positions?
Is Fox News producing your programming now?
So are these the ones joining militia groups or spending hours on end on social media platforms or going to Trump rallies or to gun ranges? Thou shalt not work, thou shalt not eat. At the same time stopping immigration for those who DO WANT to work. Nice recipe for disaster
Well that's what happens when buisness try to force their employees into medical experimentation.
Then WTF are they doing, living at home with parents? Life isn't free.
“People don’t want to be slaves to the capitalist system anymore, what ever will we do about it?!”
We're busy welding steel plates to bulldozers...
Great opportunity for women 😜
I suspect many of them are working off the books.
Keep lying CBS
Pay people more. Give more time off. Give more flexible schedules.
