By one reading, things look very good for People in america today: The country is richer than ever before, and the unemployment rate is down by one half since the Great Tough economy. But a closer look demonstrates something is certainly going seriously wrong. This is actually the collapse of work - especially among America's men. Politics economist Nicholas Eberstadt demonstrates while "unemployment" has gone down, America's work rate is also lower today than a technology ago - which the task rate for US men has been spiraling downward for half a century. Astonishingly, the task rate for American men aged 25-54 - or "men of prime working get older" - was actually somewhat low in 2015 than it turned out in 1940, prior to the war and at the tail end of the fantastic Depression. Today, practically one in six prime working-age men has no paid just work at all - and practically one in eight has gone out of the work force completely, neither working nor even looking for work. This new normal of "men without work", argues Eberstadt, is "America's unseen crisis". Usually are not are these men? How do they get there? What are they doing with the time?
