摘要经过15年几乎持续的就业增长，2008年英国的就业率约占工作年龄人口的75%，这一水平与1989年、1978年或1968年观察到的就业高峰大致一致。2005年，失业率（以失业率为基础）自1970年代以来首次降至5%以下。从那以后，英国经历了二战以来最严重的经济衰退，产出损失，这对劳动力市场的全面影响可能尚未感受到。然而，考虑到以往衰退中观察到的模式和其他工业化国家的同期经验，迄今为止对劳动力市场的影响相当令人惊讶。这篇文章旨在描绘经济衰退期间劳动力市场的表现，并解释出现的令人惊讶的模式。它还试图评估未来几年的前景。
SUMMARYAfter some 15 years of near continuous job growth, the employment rate in the UK in 2008 stood at around 75 per cent of the working age population, a level which was broadly in line with previous employment peaks observed in 1989, 1978 or 1968. In 2005, the (ILO-based) unemployment rate fell below 5 per cent for the first time since the 1970s. Since then, the UK has experienced the worst recession since World War 2 in terms of output lost and the full effects of this on the labour market may not have yet been felt. However the impact on the labour market so far has been rather surprising given the patterns observed both in previous recessions and the contemporaneous experience of other industrialised countries. This article aims to chart the performance of the labour market through the recession and to explain the surprising patterns that have emerged. It also tries to assess the prospects for the next few years.
