Male Displacement

In the 1970’s and 1980s women began joining the workforce in greater numbers.  This was great as they had been left out for long decades.  And to today they have made fine and genuine contribution to the workforce.

The numbers in the work force (of both male and female) has expanded decade by decade. (A congressional staffer told me in 2005 that total numbers were down–but I doubted it–as unemployment was low).

Yet bit by bit, little by little males are being marginalized.  There are simply fewer jobs than those that want to work.  And this brings up that the cost of progress is in lives changed negatively.

Long term this is another imbalance to destabilize an already polarized public.  Hopefully a recovered economy will bring all who want to work back into the work force in full.
