The numbers in the jobs report for February were bad, but the trends were worse. More than half Of the 4.4 million jobs lost since December 2007, when the recession began, vanished in the last four months. 4’ The unemployment rate has also surged to 8. 1 percent last month from 7. 6 percent in January—and from 5. 0 percent when the recession began. The ranks of the unemployed now total 12. 5 million people. It’s fortunate, then, that the nation’s first line of defense against rising joblessness— unemployment insurance- was reinforced in the stimulus law that passed last month.
The law increases unemployment benefits by $ 25 a week and allows states to extend those benefits through the end of the year. It also provides $7 billion to the states to cover more than 500,000 workers often part-time, low-wage and female—who are denied jobless benefits under outdated rules that apply in many states. Those states, of course, must reform their systems to specifically include those workers and to bring their programs more in line with federal guidelines.
Congress and the Obama administration must also be prepared to do more as unemployment worsens as it inevitably will in this contracting economy. In 11th-hour wrangling last month, a provision was struck from the stimulus bill that would have provided Medicaid coverage to unemployed workers who do not qualify or cannot afford to stay on their former employers’ group health insurance. The measure should be reintroduced and passed into law.
Indeed, all job-related policies should acknowledge that employment is unlikely to turn around anytime soon. That’s because the economy’s other headwinds—the housing bust and the stock-market wipeout—will delay any labor market recovery. With both sales and prices for homes declining in most places, many people who might otherwise move to take a new job are compelled to stay put, especially if a sale would not bring in enough money to pay off the mortgage. With stocks tanking, many workers are likely to postpone retirement, impairing upward mobility for other workers and crowding out new entrants to the work force.
That means that in addition to providing relief for today’s unemployed, greater emphasis must be placed on job training and retraining and on better education at all levels. If a job slump is short and shallow, old jobs come back. If it is long and deep, like the current one, some old jobs never return and even some industries never revive. That makes it imperative to prepare as a nation for the prospect of a vastly different future.
Greater emphasis must be placed on job training and retraining since______.

A、providing relief for unemployed is far from adequate
B、today’s unemployed should be prepared for new jobs
C、the current recession is unexpectedly long and deep
D、the economic prospect of our nation is still obscure
