There was an error in my post on technological unemployment last night. It confused % manufacturing jobs with # manufacturing jobs. Correcting this makes it less clear there has not been gradual manufacturing decline since 1960 correlating with PAMFLPR decline. See post for more.

Meta-correction: % is probably related to women entering the workforce and so doesn't matter as much. This is less important than I originally thought.

1/2 Isn't the huge increase in women's participation the most obvious explanation for the 1970-2004 decrease in men's?

2/2 Why not say, "Since 1970, women have (partially) replaced men in the workforce, leading to a slight increase in overall participation. Separately, there has been a slight decrease in overall participation since 2004."

One thing that changed recently is that the amount of labor needed to automate something went down a lot. Manufacturing the McCormick reaper took a lot more people than building Craigslist and probably clobbered around the same # of jobs.
