BERKELEY – The United States today is facing a crisis of long-term unemployment unlike anything it has seen since the 1930’s. Some 40% of the unemployed have been out of work for six months or more, which, as US Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke noted in a recent speech, is far higher than in any other post-World War II recession.
发自伯克利——美国目前正面临着一场自1930年代以来从未有过的长期失业危机。正如美联储主席伯南克（Ben Bernanke）在最近一次演说中提到的那样：大概有40%的失业者已失业超过6个月，比二战后任何一次衰退中出现的比率都要高。
