Jobs have been harder to come by since the start of the recession. Well paying jobs have been even harder to come by. Adam Looney, director of the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution describes the situation for men in particular has quite bleak. Looney says that for men with jobs, wages have been stagnant, and are not much more than they were in the 1950s, (accounting for inflation). This has made education even more important, as well paying jobs for men with just a high school education are simply very rare in today's environment.
