Audiobook: “Men Without Work” by Nicholas Eberstadt
Posted By RichC on May 13, 2025
Blue collar advocate Mike Rowe was interviewed on the FoxBusiness channel that I monitor daily and mentioned the ongoing crisis of “Men Without Work” … or 
capable men that have stopped looking for work. He mention the 2017 book by Nicholas Eberstadt and since I’ve always been concerned that since Industrial Education has been discounted by many and removed from schools, that we have ill-prepared “men” (and women) for the skilled trade jobs available.
I borrowed the audio version of the book and am looking forward to what Eberstadt’s conclusion might be … or at least help me get a better handle on why Americans aren’t focused on learning the skills and working.
Hopefully I’ll make it through the almost 4 hours of audio and use it to make sense of why so many men in America chose NOT to work or even gain the skills for the jobs available and want to provide for themselves 
and their families rather than exist in poverty?
Check out my thoughts from last weekend in an editorial that I’m submitting to TheHustings on tariffs and the Trump administration’s attempt to bring back manufacturing jobs to the United States.
