An alarming percentage of working-age American men have exited the labor force in recent decades, threatening profound negative social consequences in the very near future. This is an unignorable and dire phenomenon that should not be a divisive issue. The trend has been ominously noted by observers on both left and right. However, with President-elect Donald Trump returning to the White House, armed with a sweeping voter mandate for change, could it finally be the time to right the ship before a tipping point is reached?

The numbers are indeed alarming. “The share of US-born, working-age (16 to 64) men not in the labor force has increased for six decades. It was 11.3 percent in April 1960, 16.9 percent in April 2000, and 22.1 percent in April 2024,” according to a December 19 report by the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank opposed to massive illegal immigration.

“Among ‘prime-age’ US-born men (25 to 54), the group most likely to work, the share not in the labor force was 4 percent in April 1960, 8.5 percent in 2000 and 11.6 percent in 2024,” the report stressed.

Guess what else has exploded over a similar time frame?

“The number of US-born men (16 to 64) not in the labor force increased by 13.2 million from 1960 to 2024. At the same time, the number of working-age immigrant men in the labor force increased by 14.1 million,” CIS details.

For fifty years the only people it was legal to discriminate against were straight, white males, and discrimination against them was required by law.

Those chickens have come home to roost, and they ain’t going away.
