Because they're all in prison, on probation or unemployable ex-cons

Our cruel and merciless criminal 'justice' system strikes again.


THE ECONOMIST: America’s Jobless Men. “Of all the big, rich Group of Seven economies, America has the lowest share of ‘prime age’ males in work: just over 80% of those aged between 25 and 54 have a job. In the late 1960s 95% worked.”

Christina Hoff Summer's argument is that it is due to the skewed 'stimulus' but that doesn't explain why male participation has been falling for the three decades in which incarceration and conviction rates have grown fourfold to rates many times those of China, Iran or Saudi Arabia. 

Face it, our society just doesn't particularly like men or boys.   Can we TALX?
