The participation rate in the job market for men between 16-64 is dropping over time. It was 85% in the 1950's and has dropped continually after each recession. It is now at 65%. More and more men simply drop out of the labor market after failing to find jobs, creating a disturbing trend for the country. This does not show up in improving unemployment statistics.

The U.S. jobs picture and prospects for reducing unemployment depends significantly on a pickup in hiring by small business. The May 2011 survey of the NFIB shows prospects for hiring were not good in 2011-2012 based on comments by small business owners about hiring prospects. The outlook was better for large companies in a CEO Business Roundtable survey.

Structural problems like a mismatch of skills between maufacturing and construction sectors worst hit since 2008 and growing sectors like healthcare is one problem. Geographic factors and difficulty selling homes in states like Michigan is another. The tighter credit from a return of banking sector losses from bad home equity loans that is expected in late 2010 will keep the recovery from taking hold keeping unemployment high. The economic uncertainty following repeated budget battles between political parties also affects business investment.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
