That is what “mismatch” structural unemployment looks like – and it is not what we have today, at least not in Europe and North America. In the past three years, employment in construction has shrunk, but so has employment in manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, transportation and warehousing, information distribution and communications, professional and business services, educational services, leisure and hospitality, and in the public sector.
上面所描述的就是所谓“错误配置”的结构性失业——但这并不是我们当前面对的问题，至少在欧美地区来说。在过去三年间，建筑业的就业有所收缩，而批发零售贸易，运输仓储，中介行业，专业以及商业服务，教育，娱乐餐饮业以及政府公共部门也遭遇了同样的情况。但是健康服务，互联网贸易（或许还有伐木采矿业）的就业都有所上升。
