There are less workers and more unemployed (not shirkers) because the rich bastards deliberately exported all the manufacturing jobs to China, India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Mexico etc!
Removal of import tariffs made it impossible for American labor to compete.
This was complicated by big labor thinking low skill labor was worth $60-$80K, lots of vacation, a 75% pension, and healthcare for life.
It wasn't just corporate greed.
