    They said less “producing jobs” that men find fullfilling. More women dominated service jobs. They say its because men culture hurr durr how they were raised. But then again why younger men also sre affected. The answer was inconclusive. Men statistically dont get as high education as women.

    I think there is a recession and many men are simply squeezed out of the market. If we produce everything in Asia, there wont be producing jobs here. And its not only low skill jobs which went there. Building and maintaining factory machinery is nearly non existant.

      I nailed it.

      So it’s B) women, with a twist of C) immigrants, because it’s the non-white people who would be scary immigrants if they were to come here 🇺🇸🦅

      (This is a joke. I am making fun of my country’s systemic bigotry towards anyone who is not a white, male landowner. Safe travels to anyone coming here for FIFA, but I think you’re a bit crazy to do so.)

    A, yes B, if you mean that women are also working to earn a living C, if you mean that immigrants are being exploited D, yes

    A is the actual reason.

    The other 3 are excuses.

    At least it’s not because they’re millennials.

      It’s about to be! They’re already showing me, a millennial, articles about a “job cliff”.

  leaving or forced off by the massive tech layoffs due to “AI” and indirectly also affecitng other sectors. ALso men in certain fields do not have the same help that women get during college/ and job hunting.
