10 million missing men.
About 10 million men in the prime of their lives are missing from the labor force.

What do we know about them? And can we get them to work?

I like the idea of infrastructure jobs and raising the minimum wage to alleviate this problem.

Guarentee them a wage that's not hopelessly demeaning.....

I believe the men have just become weary of the hassle with the jobs available and especially when viewing the meager salaries.

I have been spent some time in Central Florida and there a car is a necessity for work. There goes a chunk of the relatively low salary.

Jobs need to be near where people at the margin live, or alternative find creatively reasonably priced ways to bring such people to the jobs.

Just guessing here some, but maybe they have fooled the women into working!

My thoughts anyway..... Just saying.....

My far right wing bro thinks folks should move to where the jobs are, and btw, if you live in an arra with disasters like floods, tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, ect, it's your fault if you didn't move somewhere else.

In New York City special licenses are given to "Dollar Vans" to move people at a reasonable price to public transportation hubs.

This present administration has really made effort to reduce the prison population.

The main difficulty is to get employers to accept excons.

OUT OF PRISON AND OUT OF WORK:
