In this clip from a recent Direct interview, Nicholas Eberstadt unpacks the statistics behind and lifestyles that feed the no-work phenomenon. 6 million Americans are NEET - not in education, employment or training - and spend an enormous amount of time on screens

For every prime age man who is unemployed, there are over 4 men who are neither working nor looking for work. These men fall right through the cracks of American employment statistics.
