2. The great recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably beginning. 大萧条可能已经结束了，但高失业率的时代或许已经开始。
3. The narrowness of this perspective ignores the pervasive recessions and joblessness of the previous decades, as Alexander Keyssar shows in his recent book. 正如 Alexander Keyssar 在其新书中所指出的那样，这种狭隘的观点忽略了过去几十年普遍存在的衰退和失业现象。
4. He finds that rates of joblessness differed primarily according to class: those in middle-class and white-collar occupations were far less likely to be unemployed. 他发现，失业率主要根据阶级不同而不同：中产阶级和白领阶层失业的可能性要小得多。
