It&#8217;s amazing to see the job numbers in the media. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/08\/05\/1116036160\/the-unemployment-rate-fell-to-3-5-matching-its-lowest-level-in-the-last-50-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazingly low unemployment<\/a> that hasn\u2019t been witnessed in 50 years! Many thousands <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/12\/02\/jobs-report-november-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new jobs created<\/a> monthly. All these positive numbers aside, we can see that the real world is filled with understaffed businesses, long waits to repair, and poor customer service.<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s young men are in crisis, and the answer to this problem is spiritual, not economic or political. While the media continues to trumpet good news about the economy, the reason your real-life experiences don\u2019t match such optimism is because these reports typically only give you part of the picture. What corporate media doesn\u2019t tell you is that about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/national\/u-s-economy-has-11-3-million-unfilled-jobs\/article_d73ea16a-fdfb-11ec-afe8-ef05003b1d76.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11 million jobs<\/a> Currently, there are no open positions.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why service is lousy everywhere and you can\u2019t get a plumber. Those jobs go unfilled because millions of young American men between the ages of 25 and 54 aren\u2019t working. Not at all. Bloomberg reports that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/opinion\/articles\/2022-01-24\/the-jobs-boom-is-leaving-more-men-behind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">they\u2019ve been left behind<\/a>, with a lower percentage of men between those ages working than in 1970 \u2014 a statistic that emerged before the economic disaster brought by coronavirus lockdowns.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Millions of young men do nothing all day<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>How is it possible for millions of men to be out of work while the unemployment rate remains low? Easy, if you don\u2019t count them.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the unemployment rate hovers at a record low figure, but this number doesn\u2019t count all unemployed people. It only includes those who don\u2019t have a job and are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epi.org\/newsroom\/useful_definitions\/#:~:text=The%20unemployment%20rate%20measures%20the,not%20included%20in%20this%20measure.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">actively seeking one<\/a>. This cheery (and erroneous) unemployment rate doesn\u2019t count the millions of young men who aren\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/02\/what-the-office-can-teach-gen-z-about-the-dignity-of-work-amid-our-labor-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">looking for a job<\/a>. These young men are often called &#8220;Young Males&#8221; \u201cNEETs,\u201d A British acronym that stands for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/data.oecd.org\/youthinac\/youth-not-in-employment-education-or-training-neet.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Not in Employment, Education or Training<\/a>.\u201d These fellows aren\u2019t working and, worse, aren\u2019t interested in work.<\/p>\n<p>This was a problem that has been growing over the past decade. But unemployment went full supernova during the coronavirus lockdown \u2014 and finally smart people are paying attention to it. Mike Rowe \u201cDirty Jobs\u201d Fame hosted a recent event <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/cd\/podcast\/its-worse-than-you-think\/id1087110764?i=1000583022964\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">podcast<\/a> Discussion on the crisis facing young men who are not working.<\/p>\n<p>To further understand the problem\u2019s depth, Rowe interviewed economist Nicholas Eberstadt, who wrote \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Men-Without-Work-Post-Pandemic-Threats-dp-1599475979\/dp\/1599475979\/ref=dp_ob_title_bk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Men Without Work<\/a>.\u201d This article explains how serious this issue is and shows that the problem goes beyond just not having a job. Too many men in their prime are living a solitary existence. And their parents \u2014 and our tax dollars \u2014 subsidize such incredible waste.<\/p>\n<p>What do these men do with all their leisure time? According to Eberstadt, they aren\u2019t only not working. They aren\u2019t going to church. They typically aren\u2019t dating. They aren\u2019t engaging in charity work or civic activities either, or even helping with housework.<\/p>\n<p>They instead play video games and binge-watch TV and movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America\u2019s young men are in crisis, and the answer to this problem is spiritual, not economic or political.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1648,"featured_media":1789334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[12305,6170,6919,7819,10011,12306],"class_list":["post-1789331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-brotherhood","tag-crisis","tag-federalist","tag-job","tag-save","tag-spiritual"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1789331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1648"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1789331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1789331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1789334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1789331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1789331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1789331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
