尽管许多政治人物试图把今年总统大选的焦点转移至创造就业机会,但在联邦失业统计资料中向来备受忽视的亚裔社区,已开始就长期失业问题,寻求解决方案。38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
华府经济政策研究所(EPI)5月底公布的一份研究报告,凸显这项被忽视的问题。该报告指出,亚裔失业人口有50%属于失业超过半年的长期失业者,比率远超过其他族裔。EPI专家奥斯汀(Algernon Austin)表示:「亚裔劳工一旦失业,将难再重回职场。」38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
检视亚裔整体失业数据,其实表现并不差,然而,劳工部首席经济学家库格勒(Adriana Kugler)表示:「这代表虽然亚裔整体失业人口低于其他族裔,但另一方面,重获就业机会的比率也偏低。」38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
奥斯汀指出,种族偏见是亚裔长期失业的原因之一。他说:「就算你是美国出生的亚裔,也会被假设为外国人,而非真正的美国人。因此,如果遇到对非美国人有既定偏见的雇主,亚裔将大受影响。」38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
纽约亚美法律援助处(Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund)已与亚裔社区长期失业人士密切合作,协助解决此问题。法援处律师连霭仪(Shirley Lin,音译)说:「纳入亚裔求职者,以增加种族多元化,以及为大学毕业生创造长期的工作,必须受到更多重视。」38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
连霭仪指出,在国会议员改善就业的计画中,亚裔必须扮演更重要角色。她说:「我们要鼓励地方和联邦政府检视这些数据,以及影响亚裔的差异性,并推动可扩大亚裔社区就业机会的特定计画。」38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
由于亚裔是教育程度最高的族裔之一,该研究的发现也把此点列为亚裔长期失业的因素之一。库格勒说:「或许亚裔可能因教育程度较高,而较不愿意接受某些类型的工作。」38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
EPI这项研究名为「不公平的劣势」的研究是由波士顿麻州大学经济学教授金玛琳(Marlene Kim,音译)主导,在4月份首次发表,5月再补充更新资料后,发现亚裔失业人口中长期失业的比率仍高居各族裔第一。 38qRainbow Mandarin 彩虹汉语
