If they’re working for themselves they count as being in the workplace. And actually, I believe white men are still employed at a high rate. I’d guess that the massive number of minority men in prison or with criminal records explains a chunk of this.
More union guys finding ways to go out on disability probably contributes to it too (and they were guys with jobs). Maybe early retirement from that segment, too.
I evaded the initial question - Not surprising that men are evading marriage as they tend to be the biggest losers in divorce. Men are not appreciated for their differences from women, but rather coyly scorned or made fun of, and that is also a Leftie Feminist ploy to ruin marriage.
If a man works for himself, of course he is in the workplace, but it’s not the same as working for a company where you go to a place and see fellow employees everyday, and possibly find a suitable mate. I think this varies from industry to industry.
Black women probably would have a problem finding a mate considering how many Black males are in prison or jail proportionately to their race.
This article specifically addresses marriage, and I do believe that young women are sowing what they reaped. The attitude of I don’t need a man...until I need a man for babies and family nurturing... but I have waited too long and that ship has sailed. I could go on and on, but enough.
