I was surfing youtube the other day, just fascinated by some early 1900's industrial revolution clips and a compare/contrast with modern (seemed to be 1960's/70's) industrial activity and it occured to me...

I have a mild case of emphasema and though I can't do any heavy lifting anymore, I COULD'A been a machine operator .... IF there were any machines to operate.

DAMN all the rules and regs over the years that killed industry in America.

It would take some research, but I would hypothesize the following to explain the decline in Male employment rate is driven largely by African-American Males.

Black males are disproportionately employed by government. Given that public employment has slowed, this has dried up the primary opportunity for Black Males. Conversely, Black female have higher employment rates in the private sector. This is why female employment rates rebounded.
