UNSOLVED MISSING MEN: 1/4: Men Without Work: Post-Pandemic Edition (2022) (New Threats to Freedom Series) by Nicholas Eberstadt (Author)

Nicholas Eberstadt’s landmark 2016 study, Men Without Work,cast a spotlight on the collapse of work for men in modern America. Rosy reports of low unemployment rates and “full or near full employment” conditions, he contends, were overlooking a quiet, continuing crisis: Depression-era work rates for American men of “prime working age” (25–54).
The grim truth: over six million prime-age men were neither working nor looking for work. Conventional unemployment measures ignored these labor force dropouts, but their ranks had been rising relentlessly for half a century. Eberstadt’s unflinching analysis was, in the words of The New York Times, “an unsettling portrait not just of male unemployment, but also of lives deeply alienated from civil society.”
