Global unemployment has topped 212 million, according to the International Labor Organization, and another 42 million new jobs will need to be created each year if the world economy is to provide employment to the growing number of new entrants into the labor market. Meanwhile, last year, 36% of employers worldwide reported facing difficulties in finding talent, the highest percentage in seven years.
这一破坏趋势的初步迹象已经显现。根据国际劳工组织的数据，全球失业总人数已达2.12亿，而如果想要给越来越多的新晋劳动力大军提供就业，每年就需要创造4,200万个新岗位。与此同时，去年全世界有36%的雇主报告人才难觅，为七年来最高比例。
