Reinventing Workers for the Post-COVID Economy

The nation’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic will hinge ( ) to some extent ( ) on how quickly show managers can become electricians ( ), whether taxi drivers can become plumbers ( ), and how many cooks can manage software for a bank.

This is likely to prove especially problematic for millions of low-paid workers in service industries like retailing ( ), hospitality ( ), building maintenance and transportation, which may be permanently impaired ( ) or fundamentally transformed. What will janitors ( ) do if fewer people work in offices? What will waiters do if the urban restaurant ecosystem never recovers its density ( )?

Their prognosis ( ) is bleak ( ). Marcela Escobari, an economist at the Brookings Institution, warns that even if the economy adds jobs as the coronavirus risk fades ( ), “the rebound won’t help the people that have been hurt the most.”

Looking back over 16 years of data, Escobari finds that workers in the occupations ( ) most heavily hit since the spring will have a difficult time reinventing themselves. Taxi drivers, dancers and front-desk clerks have poor track records moving to jobs as, say, registered nurses, pipe layers or instrumentation technicians.

COVID is abruptly ( ) taking out a swath ( ) of jobs that were thought to be comparatively ( ) resilient ( ), in services that require personal contact with customers. And the jolt ( ) has landed squarely on workers with little or no education beyond high school, toiling ( ) in the low-wage service economy.

“The damage to the economy and particularly to workers will probably be longer lasting than we think it is going to be,” said Peter Beard, senior vice president at the Greater Houston Partnership, an economic development group.

What’s more, he said, COVID will intensify underlying ( ) dynamics ( ) that were already transforming ( ) the workplace. Automation ( ), for one, will most likely accelerate ( ) as employers seek to protect their businesses from future pandemics

The challenge is not insurmountable ( ). Yet despite scattered ( ) success stories, moving millions of workers into new occupations remains an enormous ( ) challenge.

“We need a New Deal ( ) for skills,” said Amit Sevak, president of Revature, a company that hires workers, trains them to use digital tools and helps place them in jobs. “President Roosevelt deployed ( ) the massive number of workers unemployed in the Great Depression on projects that created many of the dams ( ) and roads and bridges we have. We need something like that.”

勞工轉型以因應後疫情時代經濟

美國經濟能否從新型冠狀病毒影響下復甦，將在一定程度上取決於表演經理們要多久才能變成電工，計程車司機能否化身為水管工，以及有多少廚師能替銀行管理軟體。

這對零售業、餐旅業、建築維修和運輸業等服務業數百萬低薪工人來說，問題恐怕特別大。這些行業可能受到永久性損害或發生根本性改變。若辦公室裡人變少了，工友要做什麼呢？若都市餐廳生態系統繁盛不再，服務生又該如何？

他們的前景是黯淡的。布魯金斯學會經濟學家Marcela Escobari警告說，即使就業機會隨新型冠狀病毒疫情風險消退而增加，「經濟反彈也幫不了那些受創最重的人」。

Escobari檢視16年來的數據發現，今春以來受衝擊最大的一些職業，勞工將很難自我改造。計程車司機、舞者和櫃檯人員轉行從事護理師、舖管工或儀器技工等工作者十分有限。

新型冠狀病毒突然帶走了一大批原本被認為較不容易永久消失的工作，即需與客戶面對面接觸的服務工作。這一衝擊直接打擊到那些僅受過高中教育、在低薪服務經濟區塊中掙扎的勞工。

經濟發展組織大休士頓商會資深副總裁Peter Beard表示：「經濟、尤其是勞工們受害的時間，可能比我們預期的還要更長。」

他說，更重要的是，新型冠狀病毒疫情將強化已經在改變職場的潛在動力，自動化即為一例，由於雇主力求讓自己的企業未來不受大疫情影響，自動化極可能加速。

這項挑戰並非不能克服。然而，儘管有少數成功的例子，讓數百萬勞工轉業仍是巨大的挑戰。

雇用勞工後培訓他們使用數位工具，並幫他們找到工作的Revature公司總裁Amit Sevak說：「我們需要一項針對職業技能的新政。小羅斯福總統大蕭條時期把大量失業勞工投入工程計畫，興建了我們現在使用的水壩、道路與橋樑。我們需要這樣的東西。」

2002年，我拍了人生中第一個廣告。我放棄醫學院，決定當模特兒，結果我馬上爆紅，我爸爸媽媽很為我驕傲，哈哈！開玩笑的啦！故事其實不是這樣的。我放棄醫學院搬來台灣可能是我做過最瘋狂的事之一。當醫生一直以來都是我很有興趣的工作，這不只是一個父母希望我做的職業而已。我全身心地投入上課、實習、學習我未來要做的無國界醫生的工作。
2002: I got my first commercial. I gave up medical school to become a model. I become an overnight success and my parents were so proud of me. NOT! Quitting medical school to move to Taiwan was probably one of the craziest and riskiest things I’ve done in my life. Medicine was always something I personally loved, and not just a professional my parents pushed me towards. I put my heart and soul into getting into medical school and I wanted to travel the world with Medicine San Frontiers.

但是，拍完廣告之後，我很想很想嘗試這個新的”模特兒”工作，不知道為什麼，因為是新的嗎？還是我想要挑戰自己呢？或是想要多待在亞洲旅遊呢？
But I had this nagging itch to try out this whole modeling thing - don’t know what it was. The excitement of something new? The challenge of a different industry altogether? The desire to travel in Asia a bit longer?

最後，我決定放棄醫學院，因為我覺得像這種比較穩定的行業如果我想回去的話都還會在。但”模特兒”這個比較不穩定、特別，而且比較適合年輕時候試試看的行業，如果要做就要趁現在。
Finally, I decided, a career in medicine will still be there in a few years if I wanted it. But this opportunity to try modeling was probably something I should do younger rather than older.

所以，我全心全意跳進去！寄我的”拒絕信”給醫學院(哈哈哈哈哈哈！我的天啊！好難得是我可以”拒絕”，而不是”被拒絕”)。我搬來台灣，開始我的模特兒挑戰之路。我不能說是模特兒事業啦，因為老實說，其實不是那麼順利，也沒有固定的薪水或是工作機會。我為了生活也同時接了很多其他的兼差，像是教英文、當保母、加入小提琴團隊，也繼續在救護團隊工作。
這裡送給你們看看我那時候的樣子，我的天啊！好多不同look喔！那個化妝-Oh My God!
So, i took a leap of faith and sent in my rejection letter (Haha. take THAT medical school. I reject YOU!) and started doing various TV commercials and print ads in Taiwan. I wish I could have said it was a lucrative or even successful career as a model, but honestly, there were more days in between than actual jobs. I had to support myself with a lot of side jobs: teaching English, baby sitting, joining violin performing groups, continuing my work as an EMT, etc. Anyway, here’s just a few of the very VERY varied looks I had back then. The make up…. Holy moly….

Lyrics:

You always keep one in your purse
你總在錢包內放枚硬幣
Just in case you get the urge
只為讓自己更有動力
So if you start to feel worse, a couple hours I'm on a plane
所以當你開始感覺不安時 幾小時內我將會搭上航班
Feeling insane
失去理智
Probably traumatised
或許會對你造成傷害

So, you say "Babe, what's with the face?"
所以你說道 "親愛的 為何你這副模樣?"
Maybe I'm drunk, maybe I'm wasted
或許我已酩酊大醉 也可能自甘墮落
And you know, I can't handle this
而你清楚 我不能很好地解決
Maybe I'm just a masochist
或許我享受著痛苦
Alright, fuck up my life
那就這樣吧 摧毀我的人生
Lie to my face, kiss me goodnight
對我說謊吧 給我晚安吻
I swear you know I can't handle this
我發誓 你很清楚我不能很好地解決
Maybe you should call your therapist
或許你該求助你的心理醫生

I do my best to stay away
我盡全力 遠離這裡
'Cause I can't save you every day
因為我不能時時刻刻拯救你
I'm waiting for the hurricane
我等待著颶風降臨
You're spinning out and I'm in the eye, dying inside
你望著我溺亡其中 逐漸遠去
Honestly terrified
實在是太恐懼了
Yеah

So, you say "Babe, what's with the face?"
所以你說道 "親愛的 為何你這副模樣?"
Maybе I'm drunk, maybe I'm wasted
或許我已酩酊大醉 也可能自甘墮落
And you know, I can't handle this
而你清楚 我不能很好地解決
Maybe I'm just a masochist
或許我享受著痛苦
Alright, fuck up my life
那就這樣吧 摧毀我的人生
Lie to my face, kiss me goodnight
對我說謊吧 給我晚安吻
I swear you know I can't handle this
我發誓 你很清楚我不能很好地解決
Maybe you should call your therapist
或許你該求助你的心理醫生
You know I can't handle this
你很清楚 我不能很好地解決
Maybe you should call your therapist
或許你該求助你的心理醫生

Lyrics:

I moved away and changed my number and when I did it
後來我就搬走了 還換了號碼
I’d hoped that cutting you off would make me feel different
我以為離開你就能一切重新開始
I know I'm weaker than I probably seem
我知道我日漸消瘦
I can't lie I blame you for everything
我得承認 我把一切都怪罪於你

All pins and needles when I meet somebody new and I
我遇到陌生人就會如坐針氈
Get all choked up whenever they ask about you and I
無論何時被他們問你的去向我都無言以對
Feel so pathetic and I wanna scream
覺得自己很可悲 好想喊出聲來
I can't lie I blame you for everything
我得承認 我把一切錯誤都怪罪於你
I think you know exactly what I mean
我以為你會明白我的意思

You really fucked me up
但你真的把我傷透了
Screaming at my mirror like I’m fucking drunk
我像喝醉了一樣對著鏡子發火
Question who I am and what I could’ve done
質問自己是誰 本該做些什麼
'Cause you're the one who told me that you were in love, oh
因為是你告訴我你戀愛了

You really fucked me up
你真的把我傷透了
Close my eyes and think of anything but us
閉上眼睛 除了我們什麼都可以想
Made me feel like I'm the one who's not enough
搞得好像我才是那個不夠好的人
But you're the one who told me that you were in love
但你是那個告訴我你在戀愛的人

Try to forget how you could never meet me in the middle
試著忘卻再也無法與你邂逅的事實
How all the pain that you inflicted made me feel so little
你給我帶來無盡的痛苦 讓我越來越自卑
A little tired of remembering
不堪回憶
I can't lie I blame you for everything
我得承認 我把一切錯誤都怪罪於你

You'd change so quick you'd start a fight and make me say I'm sorry
但你會改變得如此之快 是你挑起了矛盾 卻要我來道歉
Make me look like a fucking idiot at every party
讓我在所有派對上都表現得像個傻子
It made sick it’s so embarrassing
那些尷尬的回憶 你讓我感到噁心
I can't lie I blame you for everything
我得承認 我把一切錯誤都怪罪於你
And I think you know exactly what I mean
我以為你會懂我的意思

You really fucked me up
你真的把我傷透了
Screaming at my mirror like I’m fucking drunk
我就像醉了一樣對著鏡子發火
Question who I am and what I could have done
質問自己是誰 本該做些什麼
'Cause you're the one who told me that you were in love, oh
因為是你告訴我你戀愛了

You really fucked me up
你真的傷透了我
Close my eyes and think of anything but us
閉上眼睛 除了我們什麼都可以想
Made me feel like I'm the one who's not enough
搞得好像我才是那個不知滿足的人
But you're the one who told me that you were in love, oh
但你是那個告訴我你在戀愛的人

You really fucked me up
但你真的把我傷透
Screaming at my mirror like I’m fuckin drunk
我像喝醉了一樣對著鏡子發火
Question who I am and what I could’ve done
質問自己是誰 本該做些什麼
'Cause you're the one who said that you were in love, oh
因為是你告訴我你戀愛了
