Millions of men in their prime working age are leaving the labor force, creating a hole in the ma…

Around seven million men in their prime working age neither have jobs nor are looking for one, creating a huge hole in the labor market and costing businesses in male-dominated fields like manufacturing millions of dollars. Tony Dokoupil talks to "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe and the CEO of a manufacturing company about the reasons behind this phenomenon.

    Funny cause all of the men in this demographic I know actually are working. These employers are asking men to work 10hr days 6 days a week for b.s pay , reduce PTO to the absolute minimum if any and work under sub par work conditions. All to help the company grow their bottom line another 2% every year and if done successfully the hard working employee is rewarded a 50cent raise and a pizza party......this is the real reason make no mistake.

I lived in the Philly area for 30 years. The wages are TERRIBLE...and the rents are HIGH. Many are struggling to survive on $15 per hour - or LESS. But the CBS journalist, who makes a GREAT salary, somehow neglected to ask the MAIN questions! We're being abused, economically, then LIED TO by the Media - then told that men are LAZY! Unbelievable! Additionally, older people, who apply for work, are discriminated against. Why? Their HEALTH CARE costs more. So employers higher YOUNGER people - even if they are less qualified.

Women nowadays all want guys that can afford a house and provide a luxury lifestyle for them which is something that's not possible with your average factory job.

    I do not believe that America has a labor shortage. I believe that America is facing a much greater crisis. about 4 to 5 months ago I was medically discharged from the army I was in for just under 6 months and within that period of time the job market has taken an absolute nosedive. before I joined it was easy to get a job were they high paying no but work was work and fake listings were far and in between but now that I'm out I cant find work not even part time in fast food. Also, after just 6 months the job market has been filled to the brim with fake jobs from places that are not actually hiring making it extremely difficult to find places that are. Here is an example yesterday I walked into a taco bell to check up on my application. i had checked in on this same location on 2 different occasions prior to this one. i asked for the hiring manager she came to me and asked what I wanted. I asked if my application had been reviewed yet and she looked me in the eye and said she wasn't hiring. thing is tho directly outside this taco bell was 5 to 6 big signs with the words NOW HIRING on them. then to top it all off they are only one of the many other companies doing the exact same thing! So is America going thru a labor shortage? Short answer no. What is happening in America is much more sinister and way scarier then a few people getting fed with their jobs. The truth is America is being manipulated by those in power.

    I'm in this demographic and I'm calling BS on this "nobody wants to work" crap. It should be noted that these are mostly manufacturing and skilled labor jobs - exactly the kinds of jobs they steered us away from since the 60s in an effort to force us to transition to the college educated, digital future. Men in labor jobs were constantly being told these kinds of jobs would be obsolete because they would soon be replaced by computers or robots. "Better to have a solid college degree and move to "safe" corporate America" they said. They closed down most of all the trade schools and offered few options except corporate related , higher education options. You couldn't get a good job or a promotion without a college education. Consequently, generations of men, especially younger men, have moved on from labor related, manufacturing and trade fields. How many plumbers, electricians or brick layers or factory men have you met lately that are working in those "dirty jobs"? These companies are busy complaining when they should be advertising and offering training. What kind of investments have they made in making sure they even attract employees? Do they offer any incentives to grow and build with the company? They want to capture all the worker bees and then want to claim all the honey for themselves. To postulate that 7 million men are lazy and sitting on their butts is utter bulls--- and wholly misinformed. (There ain't that much welfare or "rich uncles" available to support such a situation.) Young men used to be forced to take labor jobs because that's what was mostly available. There are so many more off-the-radar and non-traditional opportunities available now, especially online (which is how I work, in my own business), so now there is heavy competition for workers. Younger people are creating their own new jobs and job categories and are not chasing money and lifestyle as a sign of success or the traditional "American Dream". Companies like these are so used to "fishing in a barrel' for workers and now that the barrel is dried up, they are complaining. In reality, they are reaping what they sowed: nothing. It's like my Grandpa used to say, "They should get off their butts and get out there and hustle for a change!"

Over the years I paid the ultimate price as now I have physical and health issues from asthma to chronic arthritis in my back with zero cartilage remaining between my vertebrae. I live with constant daily pain that requires a daily steroid just to minimize inflammation. I can no longer keep up with my children or live a fulfilling life and I am only in my early 40's....all to make someone else more rich while we are taken advantage of and left struggling to provide generational wealth for our families. I feel many men are realizing this and are fed up. Don't get it wrong though....... I am not sitting around watching tv or playing games living off of the system......in 2021, I enrolled myself back into college to get retrained for a more suitable skill for my physical issues and I am looking forward to getting back to work again, but I am done with making less than desirable wages or wages that just meet the cost of living requirements that keep me trapped in the revolving door of the middle class.

    Working at a computer is tougher on the back than people think. Mostly because being sedentary exacerbates health problems through loss of fitness. The body is designed to move a lot and most jobs people spend all day at requires people to not move much. And when our body stops moving it starts developing diseases and dying. The jobs that require movement often require it in way of unnatural repetitive movements such as constantly bending over which leads imbalances. The reality is civilized society is bad for the human body and its questionable whether its even good for our minds. Humans are supposed to running around chasing animals, fighting, struggling to survive just like every other animal. By becoming advanced with our brain capabilities all we have really done is make things more and more foreign to our nature.

And they did. The company displayed a callous attitude toward his experience, good work ethic, and honest questions about this unwanted placement. I hope such age-ism goes publicly and privately punished. Corporations do not deserve the same rights as living, breathing people, since they never will need to suffer the human condition.

There are plenty of segments and research of men not dating either because it’s too much hassle and women flock to very few men, including married ones. Guys would rather just not date and not put up with all the bs. If a guy works and isn’t 6’2, many women would ignore him, among other superficial criteria. Seems better to stay at home. Besides, you can’t meet women at work and if you do, it’s sexual harassment. And the grand prize of meeting the love of your life is divorce in a few years and she gets half your stuff, or more.

    Female hypergamy is a huge contributing issue as well. Women now make as much as men but won't date a man in a manufacturing job who makes less than they do. Until women accept men with lower paying jobs, women will overwork themselves while caring for their 40year old sons who will grow up to become the types of men they won't date. 89% of school teachers are women. 90% of gender scholarships are reserved for women. Vast majority of divorces still unfairly award custody and payment in favor of women... We've created a world where women now have the advantage from birth, yet they won't date a disadvantaged man. Why is this relevant? Men without families or women, have no purpose. Nothing is more dangerous than a society of men without purpose.

They initiate 80% of divorces. There's millions & millions of generations raised with a single mother and no father.

    At university I had a class in Industrial Psychology, one of the principles of industrial psychology is that incentives are very important for production, the clearer and more direct the relationship between work and reward, the greater the productivity, the problem of many jobs is that there is no relationship between work and reward. On one occasion they did an experiment, a group of port dockers were hired to transport sacks from one warehouse to another, they had to carry the sacks and walk almost a mile to get to the other warehouse, they were paid by the hour, days later The experience was repeated, but this time they were told that they would be paid per bag transported, as if by magic the estivators got wheelbarrows or carts to transport several bags at the same time, they had not done it the first time because if they had done it they would have finished in less time, which meant less money.

There was literally one guy whose job it was to go around and take pictures of trash cans to see if people were throwing away gum wrappers or any other band materials but half of the prices were down so he was taking pictures of empty trash cans. There was also a floor manager that I saw watching me for hours who could have easily done what I was doing. If all of the supervisors were working the floor all of the presses would be operational right now for no extra cost.

    I do not believe that America has a labor shortage. I believe that America is facing a much greater crisis. about 4 to 5 months ago I was medically discharged from the army I was in for just under 6 months and within that period of time the job market has taken an absolute nosedive. before I joined it was easy to get a job were they high paying no but work was work and fake listings were far and in between but now that I'm out I cant find work not even part time in fast food. Also, after just 6 months the job market has been filled to the brim with fake jobs from places that are not actually hiring making it extremely difficult to find places that are. Here is an example yesterday I walked into a taco bell to check up on my application. i had checked in on this same location on 2 different occasions prior to this one. i asked for the hiring manager she came to me and asked what I wanted. I asked if my application had been reviewed yet and she looked me in the eye and said she wasn't hiring. thing is tho directly outside this taco bell was 5 to 6 big signs with the words NOW HIRING on them. then to top it all off they are only one of the many other companies doing the exact same thing! So is America going thru a labor shortage? Short answer no. What is happening in America is much more sinister and way scarier then a few people getting fed with their jobs. The truth is America is being manipulated by those in power.

    It's this sense of entitlement from Americans who've withdrawn from the labor force, that rankles employers, like that one in Philadelphia. American men, especially, often times barely possess any of the needed job skills, if at all, for the job, yet complain the most that they're not paid like Kanye up front. I have met a lot of immigrants from China, Vietnam, and India just to name a few, who have overcome worse obstacles than American-borns-- the language barrier, for one, and being impoverished, for another. Immigrants have this strong work ethic, and don't have time to smoke marijuana all day like their American counterparts. Immigrants sacrifice by taking crappy jobs initially, but over time, upgrade their skills on their own, proving their worth to employers, and reap the rewards down the road.

Factory after factory was shut down. Construction workers were getting laid-off en masse whenever their was a recession. This caused a culture where families do not encourage their kids to go into the trades - and for damn good reason - for the past 50 years, trade jobs have been an insecure career path.

It's interesting that when the woman at the circuit board factory gives her answer to why people aren't pounding on her door asking for the jobs she has available, he never follows up with, "Are you willing to provide those things?" To her credit, her company is later mentioned as providing training for new employees, though it's in the context of an observation that such training is not generally available despite "skills mismatch" being a leading cause of the issue being discussed.

    All depends what State you're in, and who you work for. There are manufacturing & trades jobs all over, to varying concentrations, and most do offer training (paid apprenticeships & on-the-job). Where the difference lies is in the local politics - so-called "right-to-work" States often have anti-union, anti-regulatory policies that lend themselves to a Wild West for business. Low pay, no benefits, lousy safety observance, etc.

    Gotta add, plenty of women (white, Black, Latino, Asian, Native, etc) are in fact being actively recruited for these jobs, both by employers and by orgs/unions/States. The pitch is usually that they'll pay you to learn, you get regular hours, and great benefits. Friend of mine (Asian F) works as a welder for the local utility company, and have seen segments like this with women plumbers, electricians, carpenters, etc. My brother's a carpenter, and he says most guys he meets (20s-30s) either don't want to do manual work, or don't want a steady job, preferring gig jobs that they can take or leave whenever. Drugs are also a factor - a lot of these jobs need you to be sober, at least on days you're working.

    Has it not occurred to anyone that, for many Americans, work sucks? Excessive hours, excessive stress, soul-destroying workplace culture.

    Plus the possibility of being Divorced Raped if you are male with the court system we have in America. And now many young males are seeing that illegal immigrants can come into this country through our open borders and can collect free medical and housing so they are saying....I don't want to work and support them. So many young men are going MIGTOW AND Never having a wife or children. and living within thier means and being frugal.
