CNN News: 美國失業(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.

美國的失業(yè)率很低，為4.1%。美國勞工統(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)新的全國性調(diào)查讓我們了解了美國公眾對(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%的美國民眾表示，生活成本的增長速度要高于家庭收入的增長速度。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，美國人對(duì)美國經(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，美國承認(rèn)杜宇美國的國民經(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。
