Why Men Are Leaving The Workforce 

Prices of everything has increased except wages for years and years.

AND, Jobs promote women only. Women are praised and get promotions, if you do well, it's just expected So work for yourself, it's better, believe me

Two Boomers talking about why young men are leaving or can't enter the workforce doesn't help anyone at all

Doubling the workforce led to a very slow, long-term loss of individual purchasing power. Two people have to work to achieve the same level of purchasing power as one who worked more than 150 years ago.

So where is that survival help coming from if not employment?

I've been told as a hiring manager that its a state labor requirement to publicly post all our job openings, even when we already have someone we want to offer. Most of the time when we post something, the job was already filled and we never actually even wanted to post it, but are required to for some labor or pay transparency reason apparently.

Also in south Florida, lots of these jobs are 100% commission and borderline scams.

Ghost jobs are real!

@@U23721 That is only half of it. The other half is companies keeping a "pipeline" where they feel absolutely no remorse for posting fake jobs just so they can gauge the market and keep resumes at the ready for the next wave of firings replaced with cheaper workers. Employers need to start going to jail for this nonsense. People are wasting their time.

Yes. Fake job postings to harvest your personal data as well.

Yeah, and sometimes the feeling of depending on someone else to feed your family.

exactly especially this channel which always purposes their narrative Their narrative is the reason why this issue exist and continue increasing in the future

It’s just carrot and the stick. Women have always been the carrot. Now with women saying 80% of men are unattractive then there’s no reason to keep working. Make a little and live your life. Men still want the same thing it’s women that rejected it

women work easier jobs and gain the same as physical jobs only men can do due to woke ideologies.

They do not look at female data which might be offsetting some of these statistics. Perhaps males, these days, are more socially acceptable to staying at home and taking care of the kids. This in turn may increase female workforce participation. This is not a bad thing rather just a change in trend 😅. Data is just trash information if one does not look at it appropriately.

Because young men just want to cry and never propose any solutions.

Its the poor boomers who rely on social security and medicare will get shafted when their ordinary income and healthcare cost is cut, delayed, or flat out not given out. And then they are the same Baby Boomers who would vote againsts their concience in-favor of Conservative idealists to owned the liberul minded folks who wanted everything fair.

⁠@@Rice10120strong men also cry. Strong men… also… cry

@@Rice10120 how would you know if they're not even being interviewed? Learn to read genius

They couldn't find any young men to interview, they were too busy smoking a fat joint and scoring a penta on League in their mother basement.

Yeah, don't know about US but here in EU we are not even sure we are going to have a pension since welfare is failing us

If the pension fails here , older people over 65 would have to go to work , it would be utter chaos

You're not wrong. People have played the game and lost big. There's enough social media history backing it to keep people informed in a way they had not been before. My parents relied on photo albums and tv news to construct their narratives for their lives. They had no idea why things were happening, unless they were told by broadcast media or a newspaper.

@@Ali-e5h1b that's true but cultural ignorance persists...for example everyone can Google dioxine, but still there are people who burn rubbish both in cities and fields...as well as cultural divide - never mind social ladder, most people nowadays are born into good jobs, especially considering the cost of a degree and the utter preying of student by the rent and consumer industry

@@mattiafrancescobruni8318pensions have been out since the 80’s or so in the USA. Government positions only. Everyone else has to save to retire. Social security may be something close to an equivalent but yes no one under 50 believe SS will survive to their retirement.

Yes, but why do you need to be paid more? Because of taxes and costs imposed by regulations and inflation (which is just another tax). Basically, those who want to work are being forced to subsidize those who do not, with predictable consequences.

Amen!!! Alahouha!!!👏🏿🙏🏿✊🏿 someone had to say it!!!

In the meantime, while you all keep whining where all you at? Hanging out at the beach ?

It's not just that. Men, especially white men, are not treated very well in today's society. This also explains the rise of a right wing populist like Trump.

​@@YorickReturns Taxes is nothing new. What is New is now buisness are buying up all the homes, there increasing the price of all goods, and health insurance refuses to pay. All tax cuts will do is weaken the USA military, police, fire department, school system, and infrastructure. Time for your boss to sell one of there "Toys" and pay the people who keep keep them rich.

There is no such thing as a safe, secure job anymore. Less benefits and pensions too.

So why you’ll do instead? Lie on the beach? Lemme guess “start my own business” then you’re a slave to the banks and clients. Life is work either way

@@manoftomorrow5987 No just live with my parents and hope they leave me some inheritance. And in the meantime, do some private tutoring for only a couple hours each day to take care of my expenses. Find a way to make this work. Why do I need to commute 2-3 hours everyday for an abusive company where I'll be paid poverty wages anyway?

@@anuragchakraborty8766 damn bro…good luck

So you'd rather be a parasite on your parents than work for a living aka "wage slave"?

​@anuragchakraborty8766 living with your parents is ok but don't be a leech, share all the expenses with them that way it's beneficial to both. That's what I've done, it's enabled me to not be worked into exhaustion and it's helped my parents finally save some money for retirement.

Middle management are leaving to. The greatest ploy ever from the very top was to make workers take everything out on middle managers so both these poorly paid labor groups infight instead of join together against the top.

Exactly... and abhorrent, backstabbing coworkers, as well.

And pay decent wages with benefits

You must be lazy and entitled. Because, only the lazy and entitled complain and make excuses.

And, doing the interview from Home.

It's not just men, it's everyone. It's more pronounced for men, but the truth is, "they" have eliminated the concept of having a spouse, a family, kids. They don't want you to have those things. I've never seen relationships in the state they're in now.

And they have the audacity to propose removing government heath care coverage to those at the bottom. Talk about kicking someone while they are down.

You are mislead by online gurus. Through all history it was work to survive. US in 1950-1990 was the only time in history that one nation completely dominated others economically and technologically. Thats why one men could easily sustain a family of four. That time is never and i mean never coming back. So better start looking for work if you want a "solid" life. Or if you prefer stay unemployed, it doesnt matter to me. But this is the reality.

@@nocapproductions5471I really like this comment. However I’d only like to make one tiny critique in saying the “roaring twenties” after our WW1 victory was quite an economic boom. Especially for the time as well. Coming from a 108 y/o who grew up as a child during those times! It was quite a contribution to the Industrial Revolution, and led to lots of business startups. Most of which failing less than ten years later during the Great Depression. Then FDR came along (many others as well played factors FDR is just the one who generally falsely takes credit) and created the post WW2 economic boom that created EXACTLY what you’re talking about until 1987. However other economists like myself could debate the year/date though this would be pretty meaningless. You men need to be strong. Get money, and foreign entities out of politics. Have strong children and raise them to be strong loving men. It’s back to hard times. This is common, and is the natural consequence/reality of a “consumer based” economy that’s also capitalist, and in favor of corporate over employee profits. How this isn’t an obvious problem I don’t know, but it most certainly is. Good luck gentlemen. You’ll need it. I hope I passed some wisdom as my days are numbered. I hope the best for ya, I really do.

I've told girls I wouldn't want to marry them because they have too much student loan debt.

Yes, settling down and starting a family with a single bread winner has become a challenge

Plenty of jobs offering 19 bucks per hour. Just enough to pay bills but no chance for advancement

I am in my 30s. I have worked only a labor job not able to afford to live on my own. I have 2 degrees in finance and accounting. There's jobs but all entry jobs want 5 to 10 years of work experience specifically in that particular job. They want 5 to 10 years working at for example A/R accounts receivable. If you worked 6 years at A/P accounts payable.. that won't qualify you because these jobs are 2 different departments even though they're both accounting and if you did one and have a college degree in it you can do the other job. This is how messed up the workforce is. However, these rules are only for men. If you're a woman they will take what they can. I applied to a job at my local city for an accounting clerk job. They wanted a college degree holder with majoring accounting. They wanted 5 years experience. I applied anyways. They never called or anything. After 2 months they took the job down and then reposted the job only requiring a high school diploma doing the same job. They then put preferred 5 years of work experience. I applied again. I had to go thru hoops. I had to take an online exam which was timed and it tested us on our math and accounting skills. If you passed you got to be able to take a in person scantron test. This again test you on math, logic, and accounting skills. They would take the top 5 that scored the highest and then make them take 2nd in person exam which was using MS office using excel and a accounting calculator. This exam was given only one specific day. If you can't make it you forfeit the job. I pass the online exam, go in person to a scantron exam and was part of the top 5 people. I then was told the day to take the 2nd in person exam. I went to it and was the only one that went to the exam. No one else was there. I was there on time. It was 10am I was in the parking lot at 8am doing some minor review of the material. Then at 9:30am I walked in and sat and waited. Then at 10am the lady giving the exam she made me wait until 10:30am. She was calling the other 4 people and leaving messages. Then she just tested me and then I got an interview with 5 people the financial director of the city a woman, the HR lady, it was all women. The finance department is 100% women. I go for my interview and I had to sit and wait. I find out there's another person that got an interview before me. There was an old lady in her late 40s that walked out of the conference room meaning she just had the meeting for the job. I was the 2nd one and that was it. They only interviewed 2 people and that lady got the job. She has 10 years of work experience in working at an office. She has a high school diploma. That was it and never worked as an accountant but she knew people that worked in side the city. She got the job and I didn't. 1 year later I see them posting a job for a CPA for $25 an hour to fix their books. They failed their annual audit. I can go on and on and see how the country favors women over men. I see no benefits for a man to get married nor why work? The workplaces are more and more women and it's more toxic. More gossiped then ever.

That doesn't seem to affect women.

@@calvinhoward3808 Men and Women switched places. Now you see what women have gone through all these decades.

I'm not being critical, I'm genuinely curious. Have you considered getting new skills to open new opportunities? Like learning a trade or working in oil fields or construction? It's not easy but pay can be very lucrative with minimal formal education.

​@@ericyuan9718 ya I was thinking the same thing

As someone who worked in tech and got laid off in March, the job market there is tight (a whole lot of ghost jobs) and there is no such thing as job security in any industry with a corporate presence. Though I wish you the best, I want you to stay grounded in your expectations. Also, it'll be easier to land a job through a recruiter with a staffing agency than applying directly. Bon chance!

God bless you brother, I'm doing the same. I'm a "prime age male", who doesn't want to spend his "prime age" slaving away for nothing. They can go tell some "prime age females" to get back in the kitchen.

this is true and was my labor job experience even though I have 2 college degrees.

Hell yeah dude. I'm 23 right now and I'll make money for a while in the US and then retire somewhere in Asia or Europe and live the easy life.

You nailed it, marriage is a scam. I love seeing men smarten up and beat the system. I wish I knew about marriage fraud 20 years ago.

@@franwex Plot twist my friend: I’m a Mexican citizen.

You forgot that women are more working than back in 1955. There's more women working, more women going to college and now more competition for men to get a job. Not just that but the country right now is PRO women. They would rather hire a woman to get back at men for suppressing them from being free. It's easier for women to get a job, to go to college because of this favoritism. You add that then add the global population where men born and raised in the U.S.A don't have as good of an education as the ones in other countries and those men in other countries end up getting the jobs in the U.S.A for a far cheaper price.

​​@bebdaumon3948if I could like both of your comments twice I would. And as a man in this generation a lot of women get more support than men. Literally every girl I went to school with had full backing by their schools grandparents while men were literally I just left to do their thing. I remember in school in career classes we weren't really taken seriously. Even when I was serious about my career they laughed it off like I was dreaming for the Stars. And also don't forget the immigrants. And you're very right about when you said they are trying to get back at men for back then. I've had upper management literally tell me they don't even want to hire Gen Z men anymore due to statistics and labor politics. We are literally working a rigged game.

I feel the world was also different back in 1955. The US was the only industrialized nation not having to rebuild after WW2. I'm not sure why experts and economist skip this part when comparing the past with the future. Now that all nations are on an even playing field the US has to compete more and doesn't always succeed.

Have you tried looking for a real job?

yea this story doesn't make sense at all, i read dozens of stories like yours from other men who apply like crazy but cant get work ....something is not adding up here

Any job is better than welfare

I was under the impression that you couldn’t collect SS if you live outside the country. I must have that wrong, since you are doing it. But I agree that the US has a work until you die ethic. I am retired at 56, my husband is 53, but luck, and blessings are the only reason I can say that. My kids are struggling.

@sandisslantoneverything You absolutely can collect SS if you live outside the US, there are 10s of 1000s of expats living off SS alone in south east Asia as well in south America where it is much more affordable. We live in the Philippines now and my wife is only collecting on here pension and 401k, and at 62, SS will be added to the income stream and we have plenty of emergency money in the bank from the sale of our home. When I hit 59.5 and 62, we'll have even more money coming in when I start collecting my retirement funds. Right now, we are living easy and enjoying our time and freedom. Be living even better when my retirement funds kick in 😁

While this is true, it doesn't explain the rise over the years. All the things you listed occurred 20 or 30 years ago. What changed now?

big facts money doesn't matter if you're a workaholic. Like who cares if you make million's of dollars if you can never enjoy it? Health matters more if you can get by i.e. pay your bills and have some money left over, for say, hobbies you're wealthy in an emotional/mental sense

@@ArtSmosh1274 not really because if companies can hire immigrants they can make a person with a PHD work a $50,000 a year salary. This is good for their country. So, that guy will live in the U.S.A he will work and then pay his bills here and end money to his wife back home which the U.s dollar stretches' far. The lower pay they can make it work. However, Americans born and raised in the U.S.A and has family in the U.S.A can't live on such a low wage. So, you cannot compete. Companies prefer immigrants because they will accept the lower pay even if they have a lot of education. For them the low pay i U.S.D. is an upgrade from what they can get in their own country. So, there's always someone that desperate that will accept the highly educated jobs with lower pay. The companies prefer that then paying a high wage to an American.

There is that yes. It's not bad for women to be working in of itself, nor is it bad to integrate immigrants. What we are seeing today though, is that employers - for the past 5 decades or so - has had an abundance of workers to pick from due to increase of supply of labor. Also no wonder wages have been flat for so long. Also, when people see their purchase power increase, so does their spending, and that's not necessarily helpful to cost of living.

Women get stuck with kids. Why don't you take the kids full-time and get the resources then.

I would also add to that that younger generations also know social security and medicare is nothing more than a ponzi scheme for them. Labor is taxed significantly to fund a program that won't deliver much in the future.
