美国3亿人,会只有7000万就业,还不到1/4的人去工作?
有点common sense好不好?
你那个650万,是continuing claims,也就是还能拿失业救济的有那么多;那些拿完救济的,就只能喝西北风了...

大家火气小点吧。攻其一点,不及其余,不太好吧?(况且这一小点和前面论述关系不大。)
争论是好事。斗争就不太好了吧?
“Employment
Employment is the total number of persons employed full or part time in nonfarm establishments during a specified payroll period. Temporary employees are included. Data refer to persons who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period that includes the 12th of the month, a standard for all Federal agencies collecting employment data from business establishments.
Workers on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the employer); who are on paid holiday or vacation; or who work during only a part of the specified pay period, even though they are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the pay period, are all counted as employed.“ - http://stats.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch2_b.htm |
