Interesting read. If true, higher tariffs on us won’t fix it. ;)
Another factor is that many White males that get civilian jobs at federal places like Fort Benning have disabilities. So if you are a White male that has no disability (Army 80 percent disabled does not preclude a decent 100-yard dash time)is at a severe disadvantage in the Affirmative Action world.
I’m surprised that drug use/addiction are not a factor in the equation. Drugs render some men simply unemployable. A certain percentage also turn homeless because they don’t want the restraints of responsibility put upon them.
But I LOL at the correlation that the biggest predictor of a man working for an income is ta-da! marriage. You betcha that wife is not going to be quiet if her man seems uninterested in looking for a job. She’ll let him know - subtly or not-so-subtly - that he better get his butt out there and be the economic mule of the household.
Ironically, far more women attend college now than men and women are often more employable for the sort of low-wage low-skill jobs the Obama Administration has left behind after the better jobs moved overseas.
But they have “free” health care thanks to Obama. Yeah, right.
