Temporary Employment
Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United States during the 1980’s to increased participation in the workforce by certain groups, such as firsttime or reentering workers, who supposedly prefer such arrangements. However, statistical analyses reveal that demo-graphic changes in the workforce did not correlate with variations in the total number of temporary workers. Instead, these analyses suggest that factors ’affecting employers account for the rise in temporary employment. One factor is product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to reduce overall labor costs. Another factor is labor’s reduced bargaining strength, which allows employers more control over the terms of employment. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions. Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in organizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference.
The passage mentions each of the following as an appropriate kind of governmental action EXCEPT______.
选项
A、encouraging equitable pay for temporary and permanent employees
B、getting firms to offer temporary employment primarily to a certain group of people
C、ensuring that temporary workers obtain benefits from their employers
D、faciliating the organization of temporary workers by labor unions
答案
B
解析
此题为语义辨析题,需根据全文做出判断。文章最后部分指出:企业应将此类工作提供给真正对这份职业有需求的人。而项主张使企业将临时工作主要提供给特定人群,与以上观点相违背,因而应该选B。
