近来《纽约时报》用整个头版的版面等比例展现了美国近年来的赋闲率改变状况。曲线图显现，本年四月美国赋闲人数“飞流直下三千尺”，整个竖版差点放不下。美联储日前发布的查询陈述也显现，受疫情影响，二月至四月美国赋闲率惊人，可是丢失最沉重的仍是低收入劳动者，赋闲率高达近40%。

Nearly 40% of lower-income Americans lost work as the coronavirus pandemic began its assault on the US economy, according to the Federal Reserve.

美国联邦储藏委员会称，跟着新冠疫情开端对美国经济产生影响，近40%的美国低收入者失去了作业。

One in 5 adults who were working in February reported being laid off or furloughed in March or early April, according to a Fed report published Thursday.

这份对美国家庭财务状况的年度查询陈述称，这一期间家庭收入在4万美元（约合人民币28万元）以下的人有39%赋闲了。

Conversely, that was true for just 19% of Americans with a household income between $40,000 and $100,000, according to a Fed spokesperson.

美联储的一名讲话人称，相反地，家庭收入在4万美元到10万美元之间的人只要19%赋闲了。

For those with an income exceeding $100,000, the disparity was even greater: only 13% lost work.

关于那些收入在10万美元以上的人来说，差异就更显着了：只要13%的人赋闲了。

This data doesn’t capture the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs since early April.

依据美联储的查询，赋闲或作业时间削减的人群中，只要64%的人预期能够全额付出四月份的账单，比较之下，没有赋闲的人有85%能够全额付出。
