Jobs

A person planning for a career today must look carefully at the expected occupational trends and changes in the job market. Affecting the economy are changes in the size, age, and distribution of the population, as well as developments in technology. These change& also affect employment opportunities. For example, an aging population has increased the need for medical care and other health services. Computer technology has not only eliminated or changed the nature of many jobs but also created new occupations. By analyzing the changing economy and the factors causing these changes, a person can forecast, or predict, future trends in employment.

A New Labor Force

The United States labor force the total number of people over the age of 16 who are employed or are actively seeking work totaled 127 million in 1992. By the year 2005, the labor force is expected to reach 151 million, an increase of 19%. This increase represents a slight slowdown in the growth of the labor force compared with growth during the previous 13-year period, 1979 to 1992. The slowdown is largely due to slower population growth in the United States.

The U.S. labor force will become more diverse by 2005. White non-Hispanic men will make up a slightly smaller proportion of the labor force than in 1992, while women and minority group members will make up a larger share. Between 1992 and 2006, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and other ethnic(种族的) groups will account for roughly 36% of all people entering the work force. In addition, women will continue to join the labor force in growing numbers. In 1979, women made up 42% of the labor force. By 2006, their share is expected to be 48%.

The age makeup of the U.S. population will change from 1992 to 2005. There will be a smaller proportion of children and teenagers and a larger proportion of middle-aged and older people. The decline in the proportion of children and teenagers reflects the lower birth rates of the 1980s and 1990s. The large increase in the middle-aged population reflects the aging of the baby boom generation people born between 1946 and 1964. The rapid growth of the older population reflects both the high birth rates before the 1930s and improvements in medical technology that are allowing Americans to live longer.

The changing age make-up of the U.S. population will directly affect tomorrow's work force. Young people aged 16 to 24 are expected to make up roughly the same percentage of the labor force in 2005 as they did in 1992. However, the percentage of workers aged 25 to 34 will decline dramatically, from 28% to 21%. The baby boom generation will continue to add members to the work force, but their share will decline slightly. The most striking change will be a large increase in the percentage of workers between the ages of 46 and 54. These workers will account for 24% of the labor force in 2005, up from 18% in 1992. Workers in this age group usually have more employment experience than younger workers. Thus, employers will be able to choose from a larger pool of experienced applicants, people seeking jobs, in coming years.

Education: A Prerequisite(先决条件) for Employment

The education level of the labor force has risen dramatically in recent years. In 1980, for example, 19% of all workers aged 26 and older had completed four years of college. In 1992, 27% had a bachelor's degree or higher. The trend toward higher educational achievement is expected to continue.

From 1992 to 2005, employment growth will be faster for occupations requiring higher levels of education or training than for those requiring less. Managerial, professional, and technical positions will make up an increasing proportion of new jobs that become available. Many of the occupations projected for grow most rapidly are those with higher earnings.

第3题

？Look at the statements below and at the five extracts about taxes．

？Which extract(A，B，C，D or E)does each statement(1-8)refer to？

？For each statement(1-8)，mark one letter(A，B，C，D or E)on your Answer Sheet．

？You Will need to use some of these letters more than once．

A．Flat Tax

Income tax is a direct tax which is levied on the income of private individuals．There are various income tax systems that exist．ranging frOm a flat tax to an extensive progressive tax systern．

A flat tax，also cal led a proportional tax，is a system that taxes．Usual ly the flat tax is proposed to k ick in at a certain income level，or to exempt income below that level，so that the lowest-income members of society don't need to pay income tax．

Proposed flat taxes usually allow little or no exemption of earned income besides the bottom-level exemption．

Advocates of a flat tax claim that it will end unfair discrimination．They also argue that flat taxes are easier(and cheaper)to administer and comply with than complex，graduated taxes．Most political parties that advocate the introduction of a flat tax are on the right of the pol itical spectrum．

B．Progressive Tax

A progressive tax，or graduated tax，is a tax that is larger as a percentage of income for those with larger incomes．It is usually applied in reference to income taxes，where people with more income pay a higher percentage of it in taxes．The term progressive refers to the way the rate progresses from low to high．

C．Regressive Tax

A regressive tax is a tax which takes a larger percentage of income from people whose income is low． A tax which places placesonately more of a burden on those with lower incomes．

Regressive taxes，as opposed to progressive taxes，are more burdensome on lower-income individuals than on higher-income individuals and corporations．

D．Tax Deduction

Within the United States'income tax system，a tax deduction，or" tax-deductible expense" ，is an item which is subtracted from gross income in order to arrive at the taxable income．

Effectively，the taxpayer pays no income tax on the amount of money he spent on tax-deductible expenses．For example．if an individual earns$50，000 in a year and gives $5，000 to tax-deductible charities，he will end up paying income tax as though he had earned only$45，000 that year．In this way，the federal and state governments encourage certain types of spending．

E．Tax Avoidance and Tax Evasion

Tax avoidance is the legal exploitation of the tax regime to one's own advantage，to attempt to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law whilst making a full disclosure of the materialinformation to the tax authorities．

Tax evasion，on the other hand，is a crime．Tax evasion usually entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting or concealing the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability，and includes，in particular，dishonest tax reporting，such as under-declared income，profits or gains；or overstated deductions．

In the U．S．if you donate 10，000 dollars to some charity organization，you can take that sum away from your total income when you pay income tax．
