I think a better way to say it is 1 in 5 men cannot work in this present economy. This also means that there might be 20% less money spent in this economy because of this. I'm not sure this is a direct provable correlation however. So, the main reason this present economy cannot work for our nation is that 20% of American Men cannot find a job, or gainful employment. This doesn't mean that some of these men don't have part time jobs or are underemployed. This means there are no good useful full time jobs available for them that they are trained for.


Also, in this world there is something called "Being self employed". I personally found being self employed much more rewarding than being "employed" always. However, I had to get to be in my late 20s with enough life experience to actually "make this happen". One of the reasons for this is any self employed person must "wear many hats" and most younger people are not fully capable of this until their late 20s at the earliest. The only real question here is: "Do you want to physically survive?" And the second question is: "What are you willing to do to financially survive these times?" Once you answer these two questions then it is only a matter of finding a need and filling it with your skills. "Where there's a will there's a way."

I think one of the problems that people are not "factoring in" is that the whole world is sort of in shock at all the changes "both good and bad" coming from Globalization that started with the spread of the internet and the capacity for things to be made and ordered from anywhere to anywhere. This disempowers nations from controlling who buys what where and from whom. There is only one nation right now that controls who buys what and from whom completely, China. China is busy pushing out one by one all foreign companies once they show Chinese businessmen and women how to do what they want to learn whether it is building planes, tanks, high technology or whatever it is. China thumbs its nose at the world Trade organization because it can. And the rest of the world puts up with this for their own reasons. (They don't want a war with China). One of two things has to begin happening for things to get better. 
1. Either all nations thumb their noses at the World Trade Organization
2. or none of them do.


Otherwise there is no fairness for any nation competing on a global scale.
