As usual we blame employers. How about the tremendously complicated tax laws, the terribly inadequate medical services, the horrific real estate prices that mean both parents have to work and junior has to be raised by others for too much money every month. What about living in a house for years then growing old and being forced out because you cannot afford the spiking property taxes ? 
Blaming employers  or employment has nothing to do wit it. Perhaps it is the reality that a work place has become a prison you cannot escape from and  you need  to spend two hours a  day stuck in traffic to get to and from work.
