  2021英语六级仔细阅读真题:Passage Two
    What can be done about mass unemployment? All the wise heads agree: therere no quick or any answers. Theres work to be done, but workers arent ready to do it-theyre in the wrong places, or they have the wrong skills. Our problem are structural, and will take many years to solve.
    But dont bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view. There isnt any. On the contrary, all the facts suggest that high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand. Saying that therere no easy answers sounds wise, but its actually foolish: our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political will to act. In other words, structural unemployment is a fake problem, which mainly serves as an excuse for not pursuing real solutions.
    The fact is job openings have plunged in every major sector, while the number of workers forced into part-time employment in almost all industries has soared. Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category. Only three states, with a combined population not much larger than that of Brooklyn, have unemployment rates below 5%. So the evidence contradicts the claim that were mainly suffering from structural unemployment. Why, then, has this claim become so popular?
    Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemploymentin part because experts and analysts believe that declaring the problem the problem deeply rooted, with no easy answers, makes them sound serious.
    Ive been looking at what self-proclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression; it was almost identical to what Very Serious People are saying now. Unemployment cannot be brought down rapidly, declared one 1935 analysis, because the workforce is unadaptable and untrained. It cannot respond to the opportunities which industry may offer. A few years later, a large defense buildup finally provided a fiscal stimulus adequate to the economys needs-and suddenly industry was eager to employ tho
se unadaptable and untrained workers.
    But now, as then, powerful forces are ideologically opposed to the whole idea of government action on a sufficient scale to jump-start the economy. And that, fundamentally, is why claims that we face huge structural problems have been multiplying: they offer a reason to do nothing about the mass unemployment that is crippling our economy and our society.
    So what you need to know is that theres no evidence whatsoever to back these claims. We arent suffering from a shortage of needed skills; were suffering from a lack of policy resolve. As I said, structural unemployment isnt real problem, its an excusea reason not to act on Americas problems at a time when action is desperately needed.
