I don't think you can infer that from a map, but my recollection is that I have read exactly that. Older white men were also the ones who, in the aggregate, took the biggest hit to their careers and incomes in the recent recession. The recovery has seen a lot of hiring, but wages are "sluggish." Given that men often literally can't even get laid if their income is too low, I can well see that taking its toll on someone and them deciding to just throw in the towel.
