A recent body of economic literature supports the notion that the self-employed are more satisfied with their jobs than are employees. The research finds this to be true across most OECD countries, with Austria, Finland, and Greece the major exceptions.
However, in Self-Employment: More May Not Be Better (NBER Working Paper No. 10286), NBER Research Associate David Blanchflower distinguishes a number of less desirable aspects of being self-employed which do not appear to have been quantified previously. (46)
His study helps to explain why so many of those who express a desire to become self-employed are frustrated in that desire for many reason, including the difficulty in obtaining capital.
Blanchflower finds that self-employment rates are generally down across the OECD. The main exceptions are the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The strong patterns evident in the data across countries show that the probability of being self-employed across the OECD is higher for men and for older workers as compared with younger workers. (47)
In Europe, the probabilities of being self-employed are lower the more educated an individual is, while the opposite is true in the United States.
Some groups of immigrants also have higher rates of self-employment than the indigenous population.
Capital constraints appear to bind especially tightly in the United States for firms owned by minorities and women. The low rates of self-employment of blacks and Hispanics in the United States appear, in part, to be driven by liquidity constraints. There is evidence that liquidity constraints are felt in other countries as well, including the United Kingdom, Finland, Australia, Canada, and Sweden.
(48)
He also suggests that people may have an unrealistically rosy view of what it is like to run their own business, rather than staying with the comparative security of being an employee.
A surprisingly high proportion of employees say they would prefer to be self-employed.
(49)
Despite the fact that very high proportions of employees say they would like to set up their own business, the reality is quite different.
The evidence in this paper suggests that people may well be able to judge what is in their own best interest, which is precisely why they remain as employees. (50)
The self-employed work under a lot of pressure; they report that they find their work stressful; they come home from work exhausted and are constantly under strain; they lose sleep due to worry; and they place more weight on work than they do on leisure.
However, they are also especially likely to say that they have control over their lives and to report a high level of satisfaction with their lives. Being self-employed is difficult and appears to require rare talents; Blanchflower concludes that self employment is not for everyone.
选项
答案
自营职业者工作压力很大,比如:他们表示工作有紧迫感;回家时累得筋疲力尽,总是处于极度紧张状态;由于焦虑导致睡眠不足;而且会把工作看得比休息更加重要。
解析
本句为并列复合句。只有第二个分句they report that they find their work stressful为复合句,出现 that引导的宾语从句,其余均为简单句。本句翻译时注意词性转换和增词法。虽然从语法上来看,各分句为并列关系,但后面几个分句在语义上是对第一分句的补充说明,因此需添加"比如"一词。第一个分句中的动词work应转化为名词译出;stressful转成名词"紧迫感";exhausted同样转成名词,译为"筋疲力尽"等。这是因为汉语中多出现排比句,让句子句式一致可使译文更通顺。
