Contrary to intuition, the labor force nonparticipation rate of male Americans aged 25-54 ''rose'' 3 percentage points from 1996-2016, with the lion's share being those without a college degree. Those men who never had college experience had a 70.3% increase in labor force nonparticipation (from 8.8% in 1996 to 14.9% in 2016).<ref>https://www.kansascityfed.org/~/media/files/publicat/econrev/econrevarchive/2018/1q18tuzemen.pdf</ref>  This rise continued during the 'economic recovery' after 2012. In other words, less 'prime age' men are working, despite news stories about economic recovery and the unemployement rate.

===Men vs. Women===
In the USA, labor force nonparticipation among men has ''increased'' 15% since 1950.<ref>https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300001</ref>  While labor force nonparticipation among women has decreased 15% since 1950.<ref>https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300002</ref>  Only 16% of dads are stay-at-home.<ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/stay-at-home-fathers_n_7261020</ref>  And only about 5% of that 16% choose to be so.<ref>https://www.athomedad.org/media-resources/statistics/</ref>  Thus, only 0.02% of the male US population choose to be stay at home dads in any given year.
The share of married, prime-age men not participating in the labor market has ''declined'' in the last two decades.  However there is an overall increase in labor nonparticipation among unmarried, prime-age men.  Half of prime-age nonparticipating men are unmarried.<ref>https://www.kansascityfed.org/~/media/files/publicat/econrev/econrevarchive/2018/1q18tuzemen.pdf</ref>
