I met a man the other day who told me that he had been out of work for over 10 months. As we talked he discussed how difficult it has been for his family and that he and his wife were trying to decide which set of parents to move in with.

For most men, not being able to put food on the table and a roof over your family’s head is just about the worst blow one can take. Providing for our families is w...
