雷德卡是仅有3.5 万人口的英格兰东北小城,本已身处英国失业率最高的地区。这里的失业率达8.5%,比全国平均数字高出三个百分点。雷德卡至少10%的年轻人处于无业状态。在那2200名员工之外,还有数百名合同工被解雇。
Once renowned for its solid industrial jobs, the town is now famous for its “charity shops,pubs and takeaways, said Claire, a 35-year-old nurse who is married to a steelworker.
这座小城曾以不错的产业工作岗位而享誉英国,现在却以“慈善商店、酒吧和外卖店而闻名,35岁的护士克莱尔(Claire)说道。她的丈夫是一名钢铁工。

“It’s such a small town, it’s forgotten by everyone else, said Alan Bunn, 38, anothersteelworker who has been laid off.
