Nationwide, male blue-collar workers are re-evaluating their situations and are reluctant to return to work. I don't blame them - there have been ZERO increases in wages in constant dollars (considers inflation) for the last 30 years! And women have the SAME concerns PLUS the added cost and difficulty finding child care.
