Whoever wins will face an economy growing at a sluggish 2% or less next year, with a nagging risk of stalling completely. Unemployment will still be far too high, and almost half of it will be hard-to-solve, long-term joblessness – and even more if we count (as we should) the millions of Americans who have dropped out of the labor force.
不管谁当选，都将在明年面临经济增长只有2%的局面，并伴随着完全停滞的风险。失业率仍处于过高的水平，大约有一半的失业者是难以找到工作的长期失业者——要是我们把退出劳动力市场的美国人也算上的话（理应如此）这个比例还会更高。
