Nice sentence:
- (該幫工作機(jī)會(huì)少,很多人外出務(wù)工)Kerla has long been a significant source of hospitality workers for Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries. Its state government provides good schools with English-language instruction but few jobs. More than 2m people, 17% of its working population, already work overseas, largely in the Gulf. The 18bn or so they send back each year, is equivalent to around 14% of the state's output.
- (為了代替勞動(dòng)力流失,向全印度招聘,招聘的多數(shù)是學(xué)徒)To replace those who have left, kerala's employers have been casting their nets wider. Recruiters have been voracious, extend their searches to many other Indian Cities, most notably Mumbai. But that means the most common word on nametags pinned to the breast pockets of workers is "trainee". Those new to the workforce are too shy to smile at customers, one of many skills needed to be taught. What is worse, after a week's training or when confidence grows, these employees may slip away to the gulf. Large hotel chains operating in India have added to the flight by sending senior employees to Qatar to get new operations up and running.(去卡塔爾拓展業(yè)務(wù))
