Employers treat people like dirt. Pay is terrible. Cost of living is too high.
It's the employers.

What welfare program let's any male between 20 and 40 just sit home? Imagine watching Dave work a 12 hr manual labor job, his back story would indicate he's never worked a physical job in his life.

[elducces]

I worked 60+ hours a week for 20 years made way above the average wage and still could only afford to live a tiny apartment so I quit that and refuse to work like that anymore. I'm nit surprised so many people are quitting work.

Dave, it's not a lack of wanting to work. It's a lack of compensation.

[Fatal_-FN]

I like Dave Ramsey but he is trying to have it both ways. In a recent video Dave talks about how he as a Christian cannot pay people a living wage to take care of their family if he cannot justify paying that amount. I got news for you Dave, job seekers can do the same. They have the option not to accept a job that does not pay them enough.

Being a model citizen and working your own life is overrated. I worked hard my whole life, sometimes, without even taking a vacation. But now that I am retired I am still paying a lot of taxes of my pension and social security ( my retirement money). I don’t blame anyone if they don’t want to work because you are going to pay taxes on your retirement money until you drop dead.

"The wages has gone up tremendously " .
Yeah that's why unlike boomers no millennials can afford a a home anymore .
Do these guys live in real world ?

[BryanBalak]

Glad to hear all the women in society are perfect... 🙄

[alexjones]

Imagine being lectured and insulted by someone who is so disconnected with modern society that they don't even understand the actual problems at hand...

[MarkTrueblood]

I’d bet a significant % of the people “not working” are actually working under the table or doing something illicit for money.

[bobpoop]

Why should men work for a society at best doesn't care about them or at worst hate them.

[egresk]

YOU MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD WHEN YOU SAID WAGES HAVE GONE UP.

[burtbakerack]

Society abandoned men long before men abandoned society.

[traceyhill]

I have bad anxiety, but being in the position where I have to work has helped me immensely. No one can take care of me like me. I can't imagine knowing everyday that someone else can decide whether I eat that day. That's scarier than anything my anxious mind can think of.

[bridgethopkins]

It’s hard to support families on todays salary. Plus aging parents need us more now.

[TheMadLeprechaun]

Just another Boomer who is out of touch with what is going on in the world.

[edwardhall]

The boomerism is strong here. Maybe, just hear me out, there's no incentive for young men to work. The prospect of monogamous healthy relationship is bleak at best. Average women don't want average men so if you can't be exceptional a lot of men have just checked out.

[ForeverShadowBanned]

When you take away the main incentive men ever had to work which was owning a home and raising a family, why are you shocked when we no longer have the drive to work?

[WTDQ]

Another boomer rant. I guess Dave expects people to accept any job no matter how little it pays or how bad it treats you.

[TheSerenation]

The jobs that aren't being filled are the jobs that don't deserve being filled. Some of the important work that's not being filled has too many "certifications" that COST the worker too much $$$ to try to achieve & maintain. These stats are a triumph for everyday people because the eventual result will end up being deregulation.
