CNN 美国有线新闻 2014-12-12

 Welcome to CNN News ．We are glad to see you this Tuesday. The show begins with the report involving the issue of profiling.It's defined as making generalizations¹ about people based on their behavior or characteristics like race or gender². The US government is expanding its law enforcement guidelines regarding profiling.Previously³, it was banned when it came to raise amnesty. New rules announced yesterday built on that, making it legal for law enforcement to profile people based on religion, country of origin, gender or sexual orientation⁴.Outgoing attorney general EH calls profiling ineffective. He says it wastes resources and undermines the public trust. The new rules apply to federal law enforcement operations and anyone involved in them. They don't apply to state and local operations. They also don't apply to US intelligence gatherings⁵ or the securities screenings at boarders and airports.Some critics are calling these guidelines too loose and saying they'll allow the FBI and board security officials to continue profiling people.Airline security experts have said that profiling behavior but not religion can help reduce travel risks. 2014 has shaped up to be best year for hiring since the 1990s. The US unemployment rates stayed at 5.8% in October and November but employers added 321000 jobs last month, a major increase. Some of these jobs were likely due to seasonal⁶ hiring, temporary retail⁷ positions that will end after the holiday season. And wages are still a weak spot. The medium income what Americans are making is about the same as it was in 1995.

The job market is gaining momentum⁸. 321000 net new jobs added in November, the most since January 2012. The trend, encouraging. 10 months of job growth over 200000, the best year now for job growth since 1999. Digging inside these numbers, i see the quality of the jobs starting to improve. The first several years of this recovery featured low-paid work but now the labor⁹ department calls jobs strength wild spread, spinning professional business services,retail, healthcare. Yes, the economy is adding fast** works and low wage work . but hiring is also picking up in warehouses¹⁰ ,factories, offices, pubs, hospitals and labs.Although jobless rate is 5.8%, still the lowest in six years, wages grew slightly in November. But this has been the missing part of the recovery for several years now.Even as demand grows for skilled and unskilled labor, wages have not risen. That make workers feel this recovery less. Unbalance this week taught us a lot about behavior of the economy, the best November **in years. Record-high stocks, very strong job creation and the lowest gas prices in more than 4 years,all pretty good signs for the American economy and the American consumer.
