"A Grave Social Ill": America’s Unworking Men

http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-idle...men-1472769641

There are now over 93 Million people not in the labor force. These numbers compare to the recessionary days of 1977.

According to the WSJ article: "During the past half-century, work rates for U.S. males spiraled relentlessly downward. America is now home to a vast army of jobless men who are no longer even looking for work—roughly seven million of them age 25 to 54, the traditional prime of working life."

Sad.
