This Labor Day, there’s a crisis of working and non-working men. Here are 5 things we need to do

This Labor Day, there’s a crisis of working and non-working men. There are five areas we need to focus on to fix things from deindustrialization to corrosive welfare programs.

To make matters worse, it often seems the only thing policymakers and the media have for men is criticism, as though they are the source of all our problems, and those who are suffering have nothing to blame but themselves. 

Unfortunately, the evidence is clear that working-aged men are not doing well at all. Across the board, they are suffering a generational decline in quality jobs and falling out of the labor force in staggering numbers. These problems have grim consequences, not just for men, but for women, children and our nation as a whole.
