Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United States during the 1980s to increased participation in the workforce by certain groups, such as first-time or reentering workers, who supposedly prefer such arrangements. However, statistical analyses reveal that demographic changes in the workforce did not correlate with variations in the total number of temporary workers. Instead, these analyses suggest that factors affecting employers account for the rise in temporary employment. One factor is product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to reduce overall labor costs. Another factor is labor’s reduced bargaining strength, which allows employers more control over the terms of employment. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions. Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in organizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference.
The passage suggests which of the following about the use of temporary employment by firms during the 1980s?
作者认为,20世纪80年代美国临时就业的剧增要归因于影响雇主的两大因素,一个是产品需求使得雇主希望降低劳动力成本,另一个是工人谈判能力下降使得雇主对工作期限有更多的控制
A错误,文中未将两个因素进行比较
B错误,与demographic groups无关,这是some observers的观点
C错误,文章末句虽然提及了政府应该完成的几件事情,但是与本题无关
D错误,与劳动者的就业偏好也无关
E正确,此选项提及了文中的英国关系
A是干扰项 1980年之前的情形没有提及 没有比较 所以排除

A 没有提到more efficiently
D读题没读清楚 employee OR employer?
