A new study has revealed that despite a strong labor market, approximately 1 in 7 working-age men in the U.S. are not employed. This proportion is higher than it was before the Great Recession, and is a serious cause of concern due to the unique challenges and stigmas associated with male joblessness. Unemployed men are at risk for premature death and generally indicate lower well-being and life satisfaction.
