This is an article from December, 2014. New York Times, so take it with a grain of salt. I did a title search - can’t find it posted, but please delete if it’s a duplicate.

It looks like the predominant locations for the highest rates of men not working (in no particular order) are:

1. Appalachia
2. Indian reservations
3. urban ghettoes in big cities
4. very rural areas

Did I miss anything here?

Indian reservations, majority black counties in the south, coal country in eastern KY and WV, isolated rural areas. Most higher population urban counties and states don’t have high male unemployment. You also see high male unemployment in areas typically thought of as vacation and retirement areas, got to wonder about the metrics and if men who don’t have to work are somehow being included in those instances.
