Clearly, the 2. 5% gap between the male and female unemployment makes for an interesting set of data points. It’s the largest gap since World War 11, and economists blame it on the huge layoffs in manufacturing and construction.where men made up roughly 70% and 85% of the workforce.
But while it’s true that the "Great Recession" has hurt guys, these aren’t exactly boom times for women. True. women have suffered fewer job losses than men, but overall they still earn only78 cents for every dollar a man makes. according to Center for American Progress. Much of their work is concentrated in lower-paid industries such as retail, hospitality.education.nonprofits and health care.
The jobs that women are holding on to typically lack benefits.retirement savings plans, or pensions. "The strong part of women’s participation in the labor force is also the weak part. Their salaries are limited, " says Heidi Hartmann.an economist and president of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. "Women tend to choose a path that’s less risky, that’s more secure for their families." When asked about the mancession, Hartmann then scoffed(嘲笑)a little. "It becomes a problem when white men start to suffer."
The great hope of labor economists who study this trend—and they’re mostly women—is that the mancession will prompt employers to raise women’s wages and open up more lucrative fields such as high tech and finance to greater numbers of women. The wage gap between the genders has largely been static during this decade. Still, roughly 35% of women now bring home at least half of their family’s income.
College-educated women without children have made the largest advances in terms of closing the income gap, but women with less schooling and those with small children still earn substantially less than men. "Maybe this will be an opportunity for people to rethink paid employment, particularly now that families are dependent on the earnings of the wife, " says Eileen Appelbaum.an economist and director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University."A lot of the jobs out here for women are in nursing or as home health aides. Those are not jobs that pay family-sustaining wages." [br] According to the passage, what has proved to be an effective way in increasing women’s income?
选项
A、Employers pay women the same wage as men.
B、More women are accepted in profitable fields.
C、Women receive more schooling for self-improvement.
D、Women get more engaged in nursing or home health.
答案
C
解析
根据题干关键词proved to be an effective way in increasing women’s income定位到原文最后一段第一句: College-educated women without children have made the largest advances in terms of closing the income gap,but women with less schooling and those with small children still earn substantially less than men.可知受过大学教育的没有孩子的女性在弥补收入差距方面起了极大的作用,但是那些受较少教育和孩子尚小的女性比起男性来仍然挣得少得多,C)项“女性接受更多教育来自我提高”与此句相符,不失为已经得到证实的提高女性收入的一个有效方法。
