Millennial Men Leave Perplexing Hole in Hot U.S. Job Market
Millennial males have been dropping out of the U.S. workforce faster than any other age and gender demographic. Half a million more men aged 25 to 34 would be working now if, like women and some other groups, their participation had returned to pre-crisis levels or better, Bureau of Labor statistics show. Reasons include increased rates of school and training, as well as disability and illness. Other factors feeding into the phenomenon:
Fewer high-paying manufacturing and mining jobs
More young adults living at home
Better video games
Increased opioid use
