I think it's more simple than that. The biggest factor in the decline of employability for men is automation. I don't know how to fix that problem, but it's really no more sinister than that. Even office jobs are disappearing, as something as basic as the computing power of a single PC has probably eliminated dozens of jobs in accounting, word processing, drafting, graphic design, photography, etc.

Well said.

Just as technological improvements, globalization and wage arbitrage has 'attacked' the middle class.
