The employment rate hasn't been this low since the dying days of the Carter Administration.

Received wisdom holds that the U.S. is at or near “full employment.”

Anyone with half a brain has known for years that we aren't anywhere near "full employment."

Great article. Thanks for posting the whole thing.

I think the author misses a critical point. Males, men in this society, are simply not valued as they once were. For decades now boys have been inculcated with the idea that they are of less value than girls.

Every grade school, every sitcom, every TV commercial subtlety and not so subtlety convey the adequately received message that boys and men are the problem and of less value to society than the mighty, and slightly oppressed, female.

I know first-hand that women are now receiving a lot of the top jobs and plum assignments as the feminization of this country marches forth with ever more deliberatness.
