Chairman @SenMikeLee opening today's #JECHearing: "The American labor market is strong. The current economic expansion is the longest in U.S. history. Our unemployment rate has remained at or below 4% for the last 20 months and continues to fall." jec.senate.gov/public/index.c…
"Yet, behind these indicators of recent strength, there lies a worrisome, long-term trend... Many American men are leaving the workforce altogether. Though on the rise, the employment-to-population ratio for prime-age men is near levels not seen since the Great Depression."
"The JEC’s #SocialCapitalProject, as part of its mission to understand associational life in America today, has studied the plight of these disconnected men and identified potentially greater consequences for the health of our families and communities." #JECHearing
