CHART OF THE DAY: Remember When Men Used To Have Jobs?
Joe Weisenthal and Kamelia Angelova | Feb. 8, 2010, 12:50 PM

Men between the ages of 25-54 are frequently described as being "working-age," because, well, they're expected to be working.

But as this chart, via Brad Delong, shows, that's happening less and less.

Nearly 20% of men in this age group are out of the workforce, and none of the overall second-derivative labor market improvements seem to be helping much. How this trend impacts society more broadly should be interesting, to say the least.
