President Trump wants to get <nypost.com/2025/03/07/business/us-labor-department-reinstates-workers-targeted-in-trump-job-cuts-union-says/> America’s vast army of “dropout” men back into the workforce. Attention to this problem is long overdue.
Nearly 7 million men in the prime of life — over a tenth of the 25-to-54 age group — are neither working nor looking for work these days.
But Team Trump is trying to fix the problem with the wrong tools.
They argue that trade policy <nypost.com/2025/04/07/us-news/schumer-warns-trumps-tariffs-will-destroy-nycs-economy-drive-recession/> — tariffs — and industrial policy — special treatment for manufacturing — will reverse the long-term flight from work by men, by creating high-paying jobs to lure them back to work.
This approach may sound sensible to some. Unfortunately, it is likely to fail — even though the White House could succeed through other pro-work policies.
Once upon a time in America, working-age men without jobs were unemployed laborers.
