By the same logic, there is a severe shortage of basic-level labor, and young people are especially in demand. These types of people can find work anywhere they go. In comparison, middle-aged people who have reached the supervisory or management level have an especially strong sense of loss after being laid off. And it is much harder for them to find a job of equivalent status.
同樣道理，基層勞工到處缺人，年輕人尤其受歡迎，這兩種人到哪裡都可以找到工作；相較之下，已經擔任主管級幹部的中年員工，被資遣後的失落感特別強烈，也比較不容易再找到身分相當的工作。
