My questionnaire asked: "Do you worry that your (or your household's) ability to earn as much income in future years as you expect might be in danger because of changes in the economy (someone in China competing for your job, a computer replacing your job, etc.)?" Of 442 respondents, 11% answered, "Yes, I worry a lot," 36% replied, "Yes, I worry a little," and 52% said, "No, I don't worry at all."
今年早些时候，我在美国的四个城市对最近购房的人们进行了调查。我在问卷中问道："有鉴于经济变化（诸如中国的某人和你竞争同一份工作，电脑取代了你的工作等）可能带来的风险，你对你（或你的家庭）在未来赚取同样收入的能力感到担心吗？"在442名受访者中，11%的人回答："是，我非常担心"，36%的人回答："是，我有点担心"，而有55%的人回答："不，我毫不担心。"因此，虽然多数人表示不担心，但也有近半数的人表示了不同程度的担忧。
