Raw experience and insight often join to reveal much more than the article intended. Obviously, this explains much about the rise of Trump, and indeed at some level support for Trump is a barometer for a certain level of common sense/appropriate outrage (as well as cynicism) among (presumably white) Americans. It's gotten to the point where I seriously could not care less whether Trump or Clinton becomes President. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11709" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11766"><a id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11371" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/17/opinion/millions-of-men-are-missing-from-the-job-market.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region®ion=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region&_r=0">http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/17/opinion/millions-of-men-are-missing-from-the-job-market.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region®ion=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region&_r=0</a></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11854"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11727">As a technical footnote, you can also check out Dean Baker's response:</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11732"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11728" dir="ltr"><a id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11775" href="http://cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/the-problem-of-focusing-on-men-not-working">http://cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/the-problem-of-focusing-on-men-not-working</a></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11817" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11818"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476709804549_11865"><br></div></div></body></html>
