[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it IS common sense that a person who has been unemployed for 10 or more years will probably have a hard time finding a job.

So if a man suggests that his wife SAHMs or oks it when she brings it up, he should probably be ok with her doing it forever. Or at least make sure she understands from day 1 that being unemployed will only last for a short time so she getter keep her skills and contacts up.[/quote]

[b]There's no shortage of decent paying jobs. Just watch the news. Thankfully women can be in and out of the work force as they choose. That's a good thing.[/b][/quote]

NP.

The bold is a myth that actually is harmful because it perpetuates the inaccurate idea it's easy to re-enter the workforce especially at this time.

In reality there is huge mismatch right now, fueled by the pandemic but present pre-pandemic, between [i]the jobs available and the qualifications/experience/interest of the people seeking jobs[/i]. When people go around parroting the idea that "There are millions of open jobs, just take one!" they are uninformed and naive about how the economy currently is operating.

People really need to read and comprehend this article. "Why America has 8.4 million unemployed when there are 10 million job openings" 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/09/04/ten-million-job-openings-labor-shortage/

I don't know if it's behind a paywall but if you search online you will turn up a version you can read. It does a good job of explaining why one can't really just walk into those "decent-paying jobs" you believe are out there. Yes, jobs exist, but the mismatch is real.
