In the recent three months, Hong Kong’s unemployment rate has
Hong Kong’s unemployment rate has remained stable, at 6.3 per cent in the past three months, as business conditions have improved in the last month. Figures indicate that from March to May this year the size of the labor force was provisionally at 3,462,000, while the number of unemployed people stood at 216,000. The number of cases of insolvency, cessation of business and retrenchment, and the number of workers affected by these cases, as recorded by the Labor Department, have shown a declining trend in recent months. From March to May 1999, 78 such cases involving 3,882 workers were recorded as compared to 93 cases affecting 5,220 workers for the three months from December 1998 to February 1999. Figures for the period from March to May 1999, when compared with those from February to April 1999, show an increase in the unemployment rate, mainly in the renovation, maintenance, wholesale and retail, and the transport sectors, which have offset the decrease seen in the construction, import and export and financing sectors.
选项
A、Business conditions have worsened in the past three months.
B、The past three months have seen a declining trend in job offers.
C、The rise of unemployment rate in some sectors equals the fall in others.
D、The unemployment rate in all sectors of the economy remains unchanged.
答案
C
解析
推理题。新闻提到在renovation,maintenance,wholesale and retail等行业失业率有所上升,在con—struction,import and export等行业有所下降。上升、下降额相互抵消(offset),因此才有了新闻开头提到的整体失业率保持稳定。由此,可以推断选项C正确。此题考生可用排除法解题。既然“商业环境好转,失业率稳定”,则可排除A、B。D说经济各部门均不变,也与此相矛盾。
