Why Are Healthy Men Exiting The Workforce? | Nick Eberstadt

Nick Eberstadt is a political economist and Harvard grad with lots of accolades and many academic accomplishments. He has also written a number of excellent books, one of which I was delighted to learn confirms my long held views about America’s flight from work. The book is called Men Without Work, and it was first published in 2016 when Nick first began to see a shocking number of healthy men in their prime working years, exit the workforce. Today, the number of able-bodied men who have affirmatively elected to not work is north of 7.2 million. These are not men who can afford to support themselves. Many are addicted to pain medication. Very few—according to their own responses in exhaustive surveys—contribute to their household or to their community. They do not attend church, and they do not participate in civic organizations. They do not exercise. What they do, mostly, is play. As Nick explains in this episode, these men spend an average of 2,000 hours a year on screens.   I was fascinated by our conversation…and troubled. We have nearly 7.6 million open jobs in this county, and no one seems willing to do them. Nick has the courage to spell it all out, and I encourage you to watch. It’s worth your time. #podcast #usa #work mikeroweWORKS—My foundation is giving away $2.5 million in trade scholarships.
