Of all the employed workers in the United States, 12.5 million are part of a temporary workforce. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics counts 9.2 percent of workers as those who have【C1】______ they term "alternative employment arrangements." The government predicts that temporary staffing agencies will【C2】______ growth of 49 percent by 2010. If numbers increase【C3】______ the rate of predicted, these companies will add 1.9 million new jobs by 2010.
Temporary workers were the first ones to be affected by the recent economic recession, but they are likely to be the first to regain【C4】______ as the economy【C5】______ and companies work to rebuild. Employers use temporary workers as a resource because they offer【C6】______ and come at a low cost. Many temporaries are【C7】______ as "independent contractors" instead of employees, 【C8】______ allows the employer to avoid paying certain taxes. Because they are not required to offer【C9】______ to temporary workers, companies can save a great deal of money by hiring temps. Usually, temporary workers can qualify for benefits if they work for a staffing company for a certain length of time. Most temps,【C10】______ , do not continue with one company long enough to qualify for them because they regard the position as a step to a permanent position.
According to Richard Wahlquist, president of the American Staffing Association, 75【C11】______ of temporary workers hope for transition out of the temporary staffing category after a period of time. Wahlquist finds that temporary workers spend about 11 weeks on various assignments before their【C12】______ out of the temporary workforce. Many use temporary positions to gain experience and skills before they move on to【C13】______ jobs. Wahquist says that the temp workforce as a whole turns【C14】______ 400 percent each year.
Tom Dilworth, research director at the Employment Policies Institute, explains that some workers like having temporary jobs because it【C15】______ them a lot of【C16】______ with time and everything. Some temps only have a limited amount of time to work and temp agencies can help coordinate jobs to【C17】______ their schedules. Other sometimes—employees use temporary jobs to get a (an)【C18】______ to a company from the inside, to get a【C19】______ in the door of a certain business or career. Some others take temporary positions in hopes their employers will change them【C20】______ to permanent positions eventually.
【C9】
选项
A、benefits
B、salaries
C、training opportunities
D、technique training
答案
A
解析
名词辨义 。后半句提到了雇佣临时工公司可以节省一大笔钱,由此推断与金钱有关,选项中只有A项benefits“津贴”、B项salaries“薪水”,与金钱有关。临时工不可能没有薪水,因此A项更合理。同时也可以根据下句的对比,下句提到如果临时工在安置公司工作一定时间是可以领取津贴的。C项“培训机会”;D项“技术培训”均不符合句意。
