美媒:“即时排班”成美国打工人噩梦
Huan Qiu Shi Bao· 2025-05-13 22:44
美国《大西洋月刊》 5 月 10 日文章,原题:兼职工作如何沦为陷阱 如今,对于数百万美国低薪工人而 言,过度劳累并非问题,关键是工作时长不足。几年前,我曾在一家大型仓储式商店的仓库工作了6个 月,我原以为同事们会因每小时12.25美元的起薪而沮丧,但实际上,他们更关心的并非时薪,而是不 规律的工作时间。这家商店与美国许多零售店一样,采用"即时排班"制度,员工们可能这周工作4小 时,下周工作30小时。我和同事们根本无法预知每周工作多长时间,实际上也就不清楚工资总额。这种 波动的薪水几乎让他们难以获批汽车贷款或租到公寓,遑论存钱了。 更令人窒息的是,在美国许多州,医疗补助等社会保障项目都要求受益人记录工作时间,这意味着,若 特定时间段内的工时过短,受益人可能会失去所需福祉。美国劳动法在20世纪的伟大成就之一,就是限 制雇主们要求员工工作时间过长。然而近年来,工时过短反而成为美国工薪阶层更容易遭受的剥削形 式。大公司通常不会给员工分配过长的工作时间,而是通过雇用多名兼职员工来替代招聘一名全职员 工。这些不稳定的临时工没有福利,工作时间安排不稳定,每周工作时长波动大。 在1938年美国罗斯福政府通过《公平劳动标准法 ...
美国拟对大学捐赠基金分级征税,美媒:将加剧美高校财政困境
Huan Qiu Shi Bao· 2025-05-13 22:37
Core Viewpoint - The proposed tiered tax on university endowments by Republican members of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee is expected to exacerbate the financial difficulties faced by American higher education institutions, particularly elite universities with substantial endowments [1][2] Group 1: Tax Proposal Details - The new proposal introduces a tiered tax structure for university endowments based on the per-student endowment amount, with rates increasing from 1.4% for endowments between $500,000 and $750,000 per student to 21% for those exceeding $2 million [1] - The current tax policy applies a flat rate of 1.4% on investment income for universities with more than 500 students and an endowment exceeding $500,000 per student [1] Group 2: Impact on Elite Universities - The proposed tax increase primarily targets the wealthiest institutions, such as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, which possess endowments in the hundreds of billions, and are already facing cuts in federal research funding [2] - The majority of universities attended by students do not possess significant endowments, indicating that the tax will mainly affect a small number of elite institutions [2] Group 3: Reactions and Implications - The American Council on Education criticized the proposal, stating it complicates funding for students and represents a detrimental policy shift [2]

世界为什么越来越卷了? 这可能是许多年轻⼈的困惑:资源和⼈才都在加速流向技术尖端引领的少数⾏业;另⼀边,全球⽂科塌陷,职业教 育培养不出对⼝的⼈才,反⽽⼤量的⼈都在争抢着极少数"光鲜"的岗位…… 优绩主义的尽头没有绝对的胜利者,那些名校最为优秀的毕业⽣,却可能是最焦虑的⼀群⼈⸺他们时常觉得, 世 界好像⼀个巨⼤的仓⿏轮,⾃⼰被逼着不停奔跑,却总感觉还在原地踏步,找不到⾏动的意义。 图源《⽆法成为野兽的我们》 德雷谢维奇的洞察全部源于对精英教育体系的观察和亲⾝经历⸺他⼀共辗转过⾄少3个不同的专业。出⾝于⼀个 聚集"知识分⼦"的犹太家庭,本科他循规蹈矩选择了⽣物学和⼼理学的双学位项⽬,⼤学毕业后,他随⼤流申请 了法学院,⼜在最后节点放弃律师、去了新闻学院……但直到最后他才意识到真正能让⾃⼰快乐的是学习英语语⾔ ⽂学。 按照世俗观念,他的选择可以说相当不"明智"⸺从通往财富之路的理⼯科跳到"前途灰暗"的⽂科。有句话 说,敢主动学习⽂科的⼈(排除那些⾮⾃愿流落到这⾥的⼈),都是极致的理想主义者。德雷谢维奇正是如此,察 觉到精英教育体系的"系统BUG"后,他勇敢跳出了那套评价体系,并让更多⼈看到制度的弊端。 如今,20 ...

高校专业调整,学生选择应更理性
Nan Fang Du Shi Bao· 2025-05-12 12:42
Core Viewpoint - The recent adjustments in higher education professional settings reflect a strong alignment with national strategic needs and market demands, indicating a proactive response from the education system to the evolving economic landscape [1][2]. Group 1: Professional Adjustments - A total of 3,424 professional points were newly added, revoked, or adjusted in the 2024 academic year, with 29 new majors introduced, marking an unprecedented level of adjustment [1]. - The Ministry of Education has established a "green channel" for the setting of "strategically needed majors," facilitating the rapid establishment of programs in key areas [1][2]. Group 2: Strategic and Market Orientation - New majors such as Low Altitude Technology and Engineering directly respond to national strategies like the development of general aviation and low-altitude economy, while others like Carbon Neutrality Science and Engineering align with the dual carbon goals [2]. - The explosive growth of artificial intelligence-related majors, with 41 new programs added in "Double First-Class" universities over the past five years, highlights the close connection between professional settings and job market demands, as evidenced by a 33.4% year-on-year increase in job seekers in the AI sector for spring 2025 [2]. Group 3: Impact on Traditional Majors - Some traditional liberal arts majors have been revoked due to a disconnect with market demand, but structural optimization is being pursued, as seen with the introduction of programs like "Computational Finance" and "Big Data Management and Applications" [3]. - The wave of professional adjustments is expected to blur disciplinary boundaries, leading to a demand for a more inclusive and flexible interdisciplinary talent cultivation system [3]. Group 4: Adaptation Challenges - Higher education institutions need to clarify their educational positioning and avoid blindly following trends in professional settings, focusing instead on their strengths and unique characteristics [4]. - Students and their families should establish a rational decision-making framework, prioritizing personal interests, abilities, and career planning over the pursuit of currently popular majors [4].
