　　就业率和一个月前相比没有好多少，甚至下跌8.1%。NPR的史蒂夫·马丁报道说就业率下降的原因是更多的人放弃找工作。

　　When those without a job stop looking for work, they _3_ in the unemployment numbers. The Labor¹ Department says more of them did that in August, _4_ the nation's jobless rate from 8.3%. Employers added 96,000 jobs and the economists² including DanHerzang a micro advisors³ say that is far fewer than what's needed. It feels like things were turning around the big way, we have to sitch up growth and hire 100 or close to 200. Job gains sustained and that paste was certainly put the unemployment rate on the downward _5_.

　　当那些失业的人停止找工作，他们将不被计入失业人数。美国劳工部说八月份更多的人这么做了，使得国家的失业率从8.3%往下降。尽管雇主增加了96000份工作，但经济学家们，包括经济顾问丹·赫芝认为现有的远少于需要的。由此看上去经济会有大的转变，我们不得不保证持续提供工作机会，雇佣100到200个人。就业持续增长，这种状态会使失业率处于下降趋势。
