Education and Men without Work | National Affairs:

“According to the latest monthly jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘work rates’ for American men in October 2019 stood very close to their 1939 levels, as reported in the 1940 U.S. Census. Despite some improvement since the end of the Great Recession, Great Depression-style work rates are still characteristic today for the American male, both for those of ‘prime working age’ (defined as ages 25 to 54) and for the broader 20 to 64 group.”

*Interesting and worthwhile read.
