If You're Unemployed for More Than 6 Months, Getting a Job Becomes Really Hard

倘若你失业长达6个月以上，就很难再就业了

Lately, we tend to talk the fate of the long-term unemployed in terms of extending their unemployment benefits, partly because the machinations of Congress are easier to discuss than the vague hope that folks who've been out of work for 27 weeks or more will be able to find jobs. Worse, there's good evidence that many of them won't find work -- perhaps ever.

最近，我们经常从延长失业补助津贴方面来讨论长时间失业人员的命运，某种程度上是因为与失业长达27周以上的人能就业的微小希望相比，人们更容易认为这是国会的阴谋。更糟糕的是，有很好的证据表明：他们将不能再就业——或许永远都不能。

"At the height of the jobs crisis, 6.8 million Americans had been unemployed for more than six months," writes Ben Casselman at Five Thirty Eight. "The number is much smaller today not because the long-term unemployed, as these Americans are defined by the Labor Department, have found jobs, but because they have given up looking for work. And 3.8 million long-term jobless in February is still three times as many as before the recession."

Ben Casselman在《五三八》上面写道“在就业危机最严重的时期，680万的美国人失业时间长达6个月以上。现在失业人数很少，并不像美国劳工部声称是因为长时间失业的人找到了工作，而是因为他们已经放弃找工作了。而且在二月份，380万长时间失业的人数还保持在大萧条之前的三倍。”
