Taken from your own link...Hillbilly:
"Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm"
THAT is the take home message...America is dying as the white male demographic falls. Over the last 40 years we've fallen in world ranking continuously. We're down to #25 now. BECAUSE white males were replaced by women and minorities. America is relying on the "second string", the "B" team...instead of ONLY the very best.

Don you do realize that J.D. Vance, the author of Hillbilly Elegy is a man don't you? Companies in this day an age don't care who they are cutting only that those jobs are being cut to feed the ever present dragon. If your company doesn't make the expected growth projected by Wall Street then hell fire will rain down.
The last 10 years of my employment in corporate America brought a number of those cycles.
But as of 2011 women made up 47% of the workforce so were still in the minority. But the real reason women maybe employed more is that they are only paid 77 cents to every dollar a man makes.
