CNN News: 美國(guó)失業(yè)率刷新2000年年底以來低位

The unemployment rate, the share of the American labor force that doesn`t have a job is low. It`s at 4.1 percent. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics records that as the lowest unemployment rate since the year 2000.

美國(guó)的失業(yè)率很低，為4.1%。美國(guó)勞工統(tǒng)計(jì)局的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，此為2000年以來最低的失業(yè)率。

Now, a new national survey by the Pew Research Center is giving us a sense of how the American public feels about the job situation. Fifty percent of those surveyed say there are plenty of jobs to be found in their communities. That`s the highest percentage of people who`ve said since 2001, and it`s increased seven points since the summer of last year.

現(xiàn)在，皮尤研究中心的一項(xiàng)新的全國(guó)性調(diào)查讓我們了解了美國(guó)公眾對(duì)工作環(huán)境的看法。50%的受訪者表示，他們所在的社區(qū)有大量的工作機(jī)會(huì).這是自2001年以來，人們說的最高的數(shù)據(jù)，與去年夏天相比，增長(zhǎng)了個(gè)七個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。

But wage growth has been a consistent challenge for the economy and 49 percent of the Americans surveyed said the cost of living is rising faster than their families incomes. Forty percent say they`re breaking even, 9 percent say they`re getting ahead. That`s all a slight improvement from last year, but it`s about even with the survey results from two years ago.

但是，工資上漲對(duì)于經(jīng)濟(jì)而言，是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。受訪的49%的美國(guó)民眾表示，生活成本的增長(zhǎng)速度要高于家庭收入的增長(zhǎng)速度。40%的人表示，可能會(huì)崩潰，9%的人表示生活有所改善。這與去年相比有所改善，但是與兩年的調(diào)查結(jié)果相同。

So, how do Americans feel about the economy overall? Forty-one said conditions are good or excellent. That`s an increase of 10 points since last December. Fifty-nine percent said they`re poor or fair.

那么，美國(guó)人對(duì)美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的整體看法如何?41%的人表示，經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境還可以或者很好。此數(shù)字與去年相比，增長(zhǎng)了10%。59%的人表示，自己貧窮。

And while those positive economic views have increased by 41 percentage points among Republicans, they`ve decreased by 16 percentage points among Democrats.

這些積極的經(jīng)濟(jì)觀點(diǎn)，在共和黨中增加了41%，但是在民主黨中卻下降了16%。

So, there appears to be a political divide on how American adults feel about the state of the national economy.

因此，美國(guó)承認(rèn)杜宇美國(guó)的國(guó)民經(jīng)濟(jì)似乎存在政治分歧。

The survey was taken in late October. Pew Research interviewed more than 1,500 adults to get the info.

皮尤研究中心的調(diào)查于去年進(jìn)行。其中1500名成人參加了此項(xiàng)研究。
