美國失業者的救命稻草:救濟、儲蓄和配偶

Nearly a quarter of US laid-off workers are relying mostly on unemployment benefits or financial aid, and almost as many are cutting back spending to get by, according to research released Wednesday.

Asked to list their primary means of making ends meet, a sixth said they are using savings and a fifth said they are relying on a spouse or partner to support the household, according to a survey of unemployed workers by CareerBuilder.com, an online jobs site.

The most common answer was unemployment benefits, at 23 percent, and cutting back spending to just necessities, at 20 percent, it said.

Six percent said they sold some belongings, 5 percent are taking odd jobs, 4 percent are living on credit and 3 percent moved home or added a roommate.

Roughly 14.5 million people were unemployed in the United States as of May, according to government statistics. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, that figure has risen by 7 million people, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The US unemployment rate climbed in May to a 26-year high of 9.4 percent.

Asked how they are using their time, 22 percent said they are spending time with family and friends, 15 percent are fixing up their homes and 14 percent are exercising more, the survey said.

Laid-off workers also listed relaxing, volunteering, returning to school and becoming more involved with their church community, it said.

The online survey was conducted among more than 1,800 laid-off US workers from June 10 to June 15. The results had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points.

有6%受訪者賣掉部分家產,5%打零工,4%借債,3%搬家或增加一位室友。

據美國政府公布數據顯示,截至5月份美國失業人數約為1450萬人。據美國勞工部統計數據,自2007年12月開始經濟衰退以來,美國失業人口已增加了700萬人。

美國失業率在5月攀升至26年來最高的9.4%。

在問到他們如何打發時間時,22%的受訪者稱陪伴家人和朋友,15%者裝修房屋,14%者增加鍛煉時間。
