There has been a steady decline in the % of 30-40 year old males working in the US which suggests your probably wrong.

It's not that there is to little work out there, the issue is are economy keeps changing so rapidly that people are unprepared for new occupations. Worse while low skilled jobs that are often easiest to automate, productivity increases also kill off some high skilled jobs. And people are both reluctant to higher workers for less than they where making especially if they have been out of work for a while.



That is a friction that needs to be solved. For as long as that friction exists, Disruptions will be called disruptions instead of innovations.


What time frame does this decline occur over? The number of women in the workplace has significantly increased over the last 40 years.
