奥巴马总统承诺让更多美国人重返工作岗位

　　U.S. President Barack Obama is pledging to do whatever he can to put more Americans back to work. The president says November's lower jobless rate is encouraging, but not good enough.
　　President Obama will speak on Tuesday about his plans for tackling the nation's 10 percent unemployment rate.
　　In his weekly radio and Internet address, Mr. Obama says the drop from October's 10.2 percent jobless rate is a positive trend, but he is not satisfied.
　　“But for those who were laid off last month and the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs in this recession, a good trend is not good enough. Trends do not buy the groceries. Trends do not pay the rent or a college tuition.”
　　The president says the U.S. economy is in a very different place from early in 2009, when 700,000 jobs a month were being lost. In November, 11,000 jobs were lost.
　　Mr. Obama says his $787 billion stimulus plan prevented a possible collapse of the financial system or a potential second Great Depression. But he says history shows that hiring is often slow to follow an economic rebound.
　　“Even as the economy grows, it takes time for jobs to follow,” he added. “But the folks who have been looking for work without any luck for months and, in some cases, years, cannot wait any longer. For them, I am determined to do everything I can to accelerate our progress so we are actually adding jobs again.”
　　An administration official suggests that money originally set aside to buy the troubled assets of financial firms may be used for job creation.
　　美国总统奥巴马保证要尽一切所能让更多的美国人重返工作岗位。总统说，11月失业率下降是令人鼓舞的，但是还是不够的。
　　奥巴马总统将在星期二发表讲话，阐述他在解决全国10%失业率方面的计划。
　　奥巴马在每周广播和互联网例行讲话中说，失业率从10月的10.2%有所下降是一个积极的趋势，但他仍感到不满意。
　　奥巴马说：”但是，对那些在上个月失去工作和在这次经济衰退中失业的几百万美国人来说，好的趋势是不够的。趋势不能买食品杂货。趋势不能支付租金或大学学费。”
　　奥巴马总统说，美国现在的经济状况和2009年初的状况已经很不一样了，当时每个月失去70万个就业机会。上个月失去1万1千个就业机会。
　　奥巴马说，他的7870亿美元刺激计划避免了金融系统可能发生的崩溃，也避免了可能发生的第二轮大萧条。但是，他说，历史表明，增加雇员在经济复苏后一般速度比较缓慢。
　　奥巴马说：”即使经济增长，就业机会的增多仍需要时间。但对那些一直在寻找工作，几个月甚至几年都还没有找到工作的人来说，他们不能再等下去了。为了他们，我决心尽一切所能加快进程，使我们可以真正地再次增加就业机会。”
　　一位政府官员建议，原本用来购买金融公司不良资产的钱可以用来创造就业机会。
