大学英语六级听力——004（Re-employment of laid-off workers）

The issue of re-employment has emerged with large numbers of surplus labors having been laid off. There's no doubt that it would lead to endless trouble, if the surplus were not reorganized properly. In order to maintain social stability and secure people's normal living standards, it's essential to work out solutions to the problem. Solving the problem is a two-way operation, as far as governments and workers are concerned. On the one hand, the government at all levels should try every possible means to create a wide range of employment options open to laid-off workers. On the other hand, these workers ought not to sit idle and wait for opportunities to come. So long as they don't lose heart and constantly strive to better themselves, their futures will be bright
