An educated male with no job experience has absolutely no chance in this job market. He is over-qualified for unskilled labor such as fast food and he is under-qualified for skilled labor because there are many more experienced candidates in need of a job.

There used to be a starting place for this sector in semi-skilled blue collar labor, but that has dwindled due to the lack of manufacturing in the country. This sector of the population will not have their chance until the older generation starts retiring, which is another issue altogether since the retirement age keeps moving up.

Women do not feel the effects as significantly because they are treated as "minorities" in the workplace, especially in traditionally male roles.
