The only hope is that Trumpâs policies will bring back manufacturing and restore the US as a manufacturing superpower. Downplaying effects of offshoring jobs to China and Mexico. Generational tradesmen have been forced out. Pension and livable washes are gone. Whatâs left is a guaranteed ticket to a lower class life. They want us to work 60 hr weeks they think the OT is a benefit but you have to work that much to make ends meet. Even our lunches are unpaid. While salary people work less and make more, sure some can join them if you canât beat them but many canât join them. College is kind of expensive.
im trying so hard to make a life for myself. Nobody wants to hire and if they do it's not enough to live on. god help us.
If companies want young men to enter LABOR work its really quiet simple.
3 day in a row weekends.
Higher pay.
32 hrs before OT kicks in.
Cap hours at 50 hrs.
Extend work protections to men who have dependents with disabilities.
Significantly better medical benefits.
Stabilize working hours so they can have lives outside of work.
People that havent done labor have zero clue. Pay is only part of it. The biggest reason I wanted out was because I actually wanted to see my kids. I wanted to hang out with friends and have a dating life. There is zero meaning to life if you cant live it.
Trump sees this says oh construction shortage got you what if we just get rid of all construction workers then theirs no shortage
Illegal aliens in companies, stop hiring illegals
I'm 61 and make a little over minimum wage. They take so much in taxes because I am single. I used to work a lot of overtime to make ends meet but then I go into a higher tax bracket and they deduct even more taxes to the point that that it's like I'm donating my work. Which translates to being penalized for trying to make more money. It's the modern way of telling a lowly peasant to not dress above his station or be locked in the stocks. So what does one do? Many a time I have thought of selling my home and go squat up on the mountains. A few times I've had a young man { talking about young men} stay a few weeks until he can get back on his feet. I don't blame these young men not wanting to work. I've thought about it myself a many times. I am just simply tired.
Sweat should earn more than spreadsheet staring. Jobs don't meet cost pf living. Excessive greed.
Because men are lazy qs sin. Women do everything as usual.
Ah yes ask the baby boomers why no one is working….
The people in this video have no clue what they are talking about. Lol
No one appreciates men.
this is academic dribble, think tanks are trying to rationalize why young men are dropping out of the work place ,what do you expect theres simply to many people on this earth ,you cant cheat supply and demand and that calculation goes for human people ,stop having kids for 20 yrs and watch demand for people come back
Blue collar companies by enlarge treat their employees like garbage, low pay for hard labor and little to no incentives more often than not. This problem is worse depending on the state you live in. For instance, South Carolina is a terrible state to do most kinds of construction work. The companies don't care about their employees and it's clear. Residential/ Commercial electrician speaking from South Carolina.
Why work and pay large taxes and barely afford a small apartment. So the baby boomers can get their social security knowing weâll never get the same. They can figure it out. We can just not work. Stop buying stuff. Canât afford it anyway. Itâs all gonna come crashing down. Itâs all because of greed.
I need a job
Men are tired of breaking their backs for pennies and no insurance
I had a job that paid $12 and worked me to the bone building railroad bridges. Will never go back to that
Lol, non-college educated. I went to college and graduate school. I still got stuck working dead end retail.
disability(unstructured payments, work often prohibited) is bad, welfare (structured, constrianed, extremely limited) is good.
How transparent can you people be? You offer this superficial sentiment of care but what really concerns you is dangerous autonomy, the "scurge" of presumed radicalization, etc.
Hr departments are a big part of the issue. They are looking to push diversity over competency. My last company told me I needed to hire someone who was diverse on my team. Basically, I had to hire someone other than a white male. I was the only white male on my team of 6.
bueno por nada! đ¤Ŗ
Also, the schedules prime age workers have for their work do not have a work life ballance.
The reason prime age workers aren't working is because of a lack of jobs available to prime age workers, and the jobs that are available to prime age workers don't pay enough money. Simply put.
Everyone hates a white male conservative Christian, attacked in every way possible. Toxic to society, tell me why would you work for someone who hates you to support a family that hates you in a system that hates you and is rigged against you in every way.????
Its not worth working for employers. Self-employment, if you can get started, is the best.
Such bs aint no worker shortage theres a work shortage.
Mainstream media thinks we are stupid?
McKenzie is a scam so please donât cite it
If the job isn't rewarding metaphysically and extensionally. You'll end up with more sad saps. We will end up in a cyclical condition
These comments are a more honest documentary of this this topic, than the obtuse self-deluded video itself.
So…. this is painting the fault on the people, rather than maybe employers not hiring men specifically for years, not hiring in general, offering bad pay, or ai….
right, it's the MEN BAD MEN! I thought this era is over now…
The old man is so, utterly, disgustingly, ignorant.
We aren't slaves
Terrible reporting.
Lazy, thatâs why. Saved you all 13 mins.
These are the men living in their mom's basement.
Men who quit pursuing romantic relationships have no incentive. The basics are enough – Food, Shelter, Weed, and High Speed Internet. Lots of money left over for hobbies since they don't need to impress Women. Some have Boomer parents who are leaving them substantial sums of money thanks to real estate appreciation over the last 30-40 years.
Modern-day women are the main reason men are walking away from working. Before the millennial generation, men worked to support their wife, kids, or girlfriend. Now women say they no longer need men, so men feel there is no reason to work beyond making enough money to house and feed themselves.
Modern women tend to pursue the same 5% of top-tier men. To date an average-looking modern woman, men are often expected to earn 6 figures, have a 6-pack, and be 6 feet tall. 666.
Let the women do the job.
There is nothing in the American system for men anymore
"…a severe shortage in labor…" Nobody wants to talk about why unskilled females get office jobs but unskilled men are expected to do dangerous, dirty, back-breaking hard labor jobs. Great job refusing to interview the very men you're talking about.
It's still a free country nothing says
You need a job look at Trump
