Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.
戴维森的文章是最近几篇论述的一个例子,这些文章指出,我们如今之所以面临顽固的高失业率和中产阶级收入下降,主要原因是由于大萧条导致的需求大幅下降,但同时也是由于全球化和信息技术革命的进展,这两者正以前所未有的速度用机器或外国工人取代劳动力。
the decline of middle-class incomes
中产阶级收入的下降
Taxes on low-wage labor need to be cut, and wage subsidies such as the earned income tax credit should be expanded: This would boost incomes, encourage work, reward companies for job creation, and reduce inequality.
对低工资劳动力的税收需要削减,同时应扩大诸如已赚收入税抵免之类的工资补贴:这将提高收入,鼓励就业,奖励企业创造就业岗位,并减少不平等现象。
