Falling wages, reduced benefits and rising job insecurity seem to be increasingly entrenched features of the job scene across most of Western Europe, the United States and other parts of the developed world. The number of insecure freelance positions is rising (as are working hours) while stable jobs with good benefits are being cut.

These forces pel Western panies to exercise a growing restraint on prices and labor cost. One thing globalization clearly does is to exert a leveling effect on wages. 越來越多的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為當(dāng)今美國勞動(dòng)力市場競爭異常殘酷激烈，這不只是一時(shí)的怪現(xiàn)狀。 這座城市特殊的歷史和地理因素造就了一種多樣化的文化。實(shí)際上，香港有著其獨(dú)特的文化氛圍。他們以自己不同的方式來發(fā) 展我們的實(shí)力和美德。他們認(rèn)為，無論哪個(gè) 總統(tǒng)都不能真正代表他們的國家。但是我們卻是這樣。我們往往認(rèn)為，總統(tǒng)是他領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的國家的化身。 我們希望，總司令能在戰(zhàn)爭中帶領(lǐng)我們走向勝利。我們也認(rèn)為，總統(tǒng)應(yīng)對國家的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展負(fù)責(zé)。 Our pany was established /set up in 1988.
