经济衰退时哪些工作不易丢?

Geraldine Arguello, 45, is a nurse's assistant at Colfax Senior Care Assisted Living in rural Raton, N.M., where she prepares meals, assists with dressing and grooming and organizes bingo games.

45岁的杰拉尔丁•阿奎罗(Geraldine Arguello)是新墨西哥州拉顿市(Raton)郊区老年人服务中心Colfax Senior Care Assisted Living的一名护士助理，她的工作内容包括做饭、协助老人们穿衣、梳洗和安排宾戈游戏。

'People say anybody can do this, but it takes a lot to earn trust,' she says. 'You're providing mental stability for residents that are swallowing the fact that they're depending on others at this point to get by.' The pay isn't great, though. She makes about $10 an hour, occasionally as much as $15 an hour when she works in an individual's home.

阿奎罗说，“人们都说这个工作谁都可以干，但是它需要你付出很多来赢得信任，你要使正在消化他们现在要依靠别人来过活这一事实的老人保持心理上的稳定。”这份工作的工资并不高，一小时大概是10美元，如果去单个客户的家中上门服务一小时则可挣到15美元。

If you had to choose which jobs you'd want to go away, you'd pick these low-wage jobs, not the middle-skill ones.'
