简斯维尔

在埃米？戈尔茨坦（AmyGoldstein）的著作《简斯维尔》（Janesville）中，被通用汽车公司（GeneralMotors）解雇的员工蜂拥至这个威斯康星州城镇的大学进行再培训，结果他们的老师却发现有些人“甚至不会开机（电脑）”。

In Amy Goldstein 's book Janesville , workers laid off by General Motors flocked to the Wisconsin town 's college to retrain , only for their teachers to discover that some " didn 't even know how to turn [ a computer ] on . "

在理想情况下，这应该发生在工作中，而不是裁员之后——那种时候机会的普遍缺乏可能会削弱再培训的效果，在2008年至2009年经济严重衰退时期，简斯维尔失业汽车工人就面临这种情形。

Ideally , this should happen on the job , rather than after redundancy , when the efficacy of retraining may be undermined by the general lack of opportunities , as happened to Janesville 's unemployed car workers in the depths of the 2008-09 recession .
