The U.S. unemployment rate remains historically low, but a growing number of labor researchers are focused on a different warning sign: young men are becoming less likely to work or actively look for jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1% in July, while the civilian labor force declined by 264,000 people and the labor force participation rate slipped to 61.4%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
