So you stand corrected.
No he doesn't, per your own post. You've come across SOME that don't. Most do, just like he said.

But I do agree with you that most guys are, indeed, employed.

ok. So we can progress with the topic. The issue at hand is not about dating guys who are "unemployed" because you've agreed that most guys are employed.

The issue at hand is the senior exec making $150,000 or more. Who is she willing to date? I presume a very small window of guys.

Yes, not even close to 100% of the population of men is in the workforce pool. Unemployment rates do not take into account quite a few populations, including those not actively looking for work (among several others). Actually only about 65% of people are in the workforce, so a full third of men (more or less) aren't included in the calculation and aren't working.

If you're single, making 19 dollars an hour and claim to be living in poverty.. how do you think you will support a family on the wage of a nurse?

Most single guys your age are doing all right making 19 an hour.. if you can't swing 19/hour single, how will you support a family while making 25 an hour?

I don't know where he is, but around me nurses making 80k aren't uncommon and I know a few into six figures... of course they're not new, just graduated nurses. One of my FWBs is a nurse and she's in the 95k area.

You can't support a family on an RNs wages. I'm an RN, I know hundreds of RNs in 3 different countries. None of them support a family on one income unless they do massive amounts of overtime and night shift which ups your differential.

If you think about it, there aren't too many jobs left where you can support a family on a single wage.
