We’ve covered this scandal/scam before, but the numbers just keep getting worse. The data may help explain why the labor force participation rate among employable males keeps shrinking nearly every month in a very troubling fashion.

We now have just under one in three working age men who have left the labor force, mainly due to disability, the rates of which have skyrocketed by an additional seven million people since 2021.

How is it conceivably possible that at a time when workplace injuries are lower than ever before, and an ever-smaller share of Americans are involved in hard labor – factory jobs, construction, mining and ag – that more Americans than ever are claiming they are disabled?
