This statistic from the article strikes as amazing. Not 100% sure if I believe it.
"In 2015, 22 percent of lower-skilled men [those without a college degree] aged 21 to 30 had not worked at all during the prior twelve months,”
"Three quarters of their additional leisure time is spent with video games, Hurst’s research has shown"
Doing some quick maths put 15% of lower skilled men are playing video games all day during their idle time. Is this really happening on the ground?
- weerd 10y agoOh yeah, definitely. It's a fantastic way to check out from the mundane crawl that is average life in America. Honestly though, it's better than watching TV. Atleast you have to interact and think. There's also the fact that multiplayer gaming allows us to meet new people with similar interests. Someday people are going to just put on the VR hat and practically live in another world.
