民調(diào)：近五分之一的家庭因大流行而失業(yè)

The coronavirus pandemic has already started to hit American pocketbooks, with nearly 1 in 5 households experiencing a layoff or a reduction in work hours, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

據(jù)美國國家公共廣播公司(NPR/PBS)新聞一小時/馬里斯特(Marist)最新民調(diào)顯示，冠狀病毒大流行已經(jīng)開始影響美國的錢包，近五分之一的家庭遭遇裁員或工時減少。

As people stay home, avoid crowds and cancel plans to avoid spreading the disease, it's rapidly causing a contraction in economic activity that is hurting a wide range of businesses.

由于人們呆在家里，避開人群，并取消了避免疾病傳播的計(jì)劃，它正在迅速導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟(jì)活動的收縮，這損害了廣泛的企業(yè)。

Restaurants, bars, hotels and airlines are among the hardest-hit industries, but the ripple effects of the drop in demand are expected to spread across virtually the entire economy.

餐館、酒吧、酒店和航空公司是受影響最嚴(yán)重的行業(yè)，但需求下降的連鎖反應(yīng)預(yù)計(jì)將蔓延到整個經(jīng)濟(jì)領(lǐng)域。

As of March 13-14. when the new poll was conducted, layoffs and reduced hours had already hit 18% of U.S. households.

截至3月13日至14日進(jìn)行新的調(diào)查時，裁員和工時減少已經(jīng)影響到18%的美國家庭。

Lower-income workers were the most affected: A quarter of households making less than $50.000 had experienced cut hours or a job loss.

低收入工人受到的影響最大:收入低于5萬美元的家庭中，有四分之一曾經(jīng)歷過工時減少或失業(yè)。

And even those who haven't lost work because of the coronavirus are often working differently because of the pandemic.

A third of American households have had at least one person change their work routine because of the coronavirus. College graduates (43%) were more likely to experience this shift than nongraduates (25%).

Many businesses have allowed or instructed people to work from home to reduce their exposure to the virus. But many jobs, particularly blue-collar and service or retail jobs, cannot be done remotely.

許多企業(yè)已經(jīng)允許或指示人們在家工作，以減少與病毒的接觸。但許多工作，尤其是藍(lán)領(lǐng)和服務(wù)業(yè)或零售業(yè)的工作，無法遠(yuǎn)程完成。
