Why Are So Many People Not Working?

Chris Otter • December 16, 2017

If nothing changes, this generation of men will earn less, pay less in taxes, consume more in government services, marry less frequently, and lead increasingly unhealthy lives that lead to earlier deaths.

Why are so many working age men not working?

Nearly 3 million American men in their prime working years, age 25 to 54, are unemployed and have stopped looking for work. If nothing changes, this generation of men will earn less, pay less in taxes, consume more in government services, marry less frequently, and lead increasingly unhealthy lives that lead to earlier deaths.

The United States ties England and Spain among the 13 most developed countries in lowest upward mobility. The reasons are many but include corporate greed, outsourcing of jobs, and often employers’ focus on shareholder value over employee worth.

Everything has changed around them – the things that we relied on in the past no longer exist, jobs have become commoditized and offer little to no security. Many have experienced multiple events of downsizing, loss of opportunity and are fearful that they have become irrelevant and feel they are the only ones who think or experience this.

Most people have come to accept that there is a new normal – it doesn’t mean we have to like it, but it also doesn’t mean we need to become a victim. Many are considering business ownership as a career alternative. If you are going to break the cycle of complexity to transition and become self-sufficient, you need to understand whom we you turn to. But where do you start looking, where do you go from here?

The Franchise Consulting Company helps people who want to break the un/employment cycle to transform their lives and go from frustration to self-sufficiency. We represent our clients’ interests first and foremost. We begin by helping our clients think about their goals, what they really want from their life and what needs to happen to begin the process of transforming their frustrations into freedom.

Our tools are Education, Relationship and Opportunity. Our mutual objective is to determine if owning your own business is the best avenue for you, and then to find franchise opportunities that best match your personal and financial goals.
If you find yourself in a similar situation as many Americans today or frustrated with traditional employment, it may be time for you to explore business ownership as a career alternative.

Like many of my clients, you probably have many questions including whether franchising is right for you, what is available in your area, what is the required investment, and what franchise opportunities are the best fit for you to accomplish your financial and lifestyle goals.

Choosing the right franchise to own can be one of the most crucial and rewarding decisions one will make in a lifetime. “I believe we are successful when our clients are successful.”

If you are looking for straight talk from a highly experienced franchise professional that represents YOU, not the franchisors, and is only interested in your success - then give me a call. Listening and giving objective advice is at the core of everything I do and there is no fee or cost for our services.

Franchisors use a variety of methods to position their franchise opportunity in front of prospective franchisees. They promote franchising on their website, participate in tradeshows and use franchise consultants to introduce their business to someone who might not otherwise know about that type their opportunity. The 2021 Franchise Sales Index Report shows franchise consultants rank highly in producing solid leads for franchisors, and yet, the consultant works primarily for the prospective franchisee. Effective consultants can explain the franchising opportunity to someone who is new to franchising and perhaps even new to running a business. Some questions to ask a franchise consultant before working with them are as follows:
