2010-01-05来源:和谐英语

The most news in the morning. cnn's American Morning. Weekdays, 6 am, Eastern.

Yeah, this is good news because 2009 and 2008 were really painful years for people who were just dealing with such an awful jobs market. And if you take a look at 85 percent of companies going ahead and just cutting, just going ahead and cutting their annual merit raises for 2009, you can see that things may change a bit in 2010. Because 54 percent of companies plan to actually thaw their salary freezes, bring them back in line to perhaps where they were before. And 35 percent of companies are planning to restore their 401K matches. And 70 pecent of those companies are saying they'll go back to the original levels of those 401K matches, which for a lot of people who had devastated investment portfolios over the last couple of years, this is good news for them obviously.

Now what's causing this change? 40 percent of companies say that their financial situation, they believe will be better next year or not get any worse. Since or because of that, they are feeling that they can make things better for their employees.

So let's take a look at some of the people who are gonna find that their jobs are in demand. These skills are gonna be ones that are going to move next year. We're just gonna take a look at five of them. But if you wanna see all ten, you can go to cnnmoney.com.

Tax accountants, that's good place to start. Compliance directors, people need to make sure that regulations and accounting rules are being met. Information systems security manager, security is just a big topic lately, so that you get that one. Medical records clerks, there's just so much data that has to be moved. That one is gonna be needed. And people are gonna not stop needing doctors and medical attention. And executive assistants as well, another job that will be in demand and paying better in 2010.

So if you wanna read more about these and also like perhaps the salary increases, what you could be making, cnn Money has a really great read on that for people, five other jobs that are looking to make more money in the new year.

How about business correspondent?

Yeah, hopefully, hopefully that one is stable and steady, right?

Glossary:

merit raise: 绩效工资

401K match: in the US, a way of saving money for your retirement that is handled through the company where you work;

401k计划是一种DC(缴费确定型)计划,实行个人账户积累制,其建立需符合一定条件。401k计划由雇员和雇主共同缴费,缴费和投资收益免税,只在领取时征收个人所得税。雇员退休后养老金的领取金额取决于缴费的多少和投资收益状况。

401k计划资金可以投资于股票、基金、年金保险、债券、专项定期存款等金融产品,雇员可以自主选择养老金的投资方式。与DB(给付确定型)计划相反,其投资风险由雇员承担。通常,美国大公司的雇员更愿意购买自己公司的股票。
