In August, the BLS classified 4.3 million Americans as long-term unemployed, or 37.9% of the total unemployed – a worrisome figure, given that the global financial crisis was five years ago. And, remember, this number excludes all the discouraged Americans who are no longer looking for a job.
8月，LBS将430万美国人归于长期失业，他们站总失业人口的37.9%——这个比例令人担忧，因为全球金融危机已经过去五年了。此外，不要忘了，这个数字并没有包括太沮丧以至于放弃寻找工作的美国人。事实上，更全面的就业人口/总人口比例只有58.6%。
