This Vox article tackles the issue of male unemployment among prime working-age individuals in the United States. It explores various factors that contribute to this phenomenon, such as automation, globalization, and changes in the labor market. The article argues that the decline in traditional manufacturing jobs and the increasing demand for specialized skills have left many men without employment opportunities. It highlights the psychological impact of unemployment on men and the societal implications of a large number of men being out of work. The author suggests that addressing this issue requires a combination of economic, educational, and social policy reforms to provide better job prospects and support for individuals in this demographic.
