BrownThe International Telecommunication Union reported 4.6 billion mobile accounts worldwide at the end of 2009, about 3.3 billion
24、more than fixed line phones. As mobile phones have overtaken fixed line phones in usage, the 41 impact of the mobile phone on worklife balance has raised considerable concern. Yet the authors of this paper conclude that these fears are exaggerated. Although the 高考资源网（ ） ，您身边的高考专家 版权所有高考资源网pace of wo

26、uestionnaires and kept diaries to determine when, how often, and in what 43 these workers used their mobile phones. The researchers also evaluated records of phone traffic and usage reports from participants handsets. The data revealed that rather than intruding on leisure time, the phones “always-o
27、n” nature allowed employees to better 44 their schedules and avoid worklife pressures. And although concerns about mobile phones often assume that they tie up people to work, the call records indicated that they are used 45 to stay in touch with family and friends. 46 calls accounted for 61 percent
28、of all calls; only 21 percent were work related.However, the data did reveal a correlation between mobile phones and workplace pressure, especially among male respondents, who were more 47 to report that the mobile phone made them feel short on time. The authors argue that workers stress is raised b
29、ecause the mobile phone has enabled management to stay in 48 contact with them. Still, the authors did not find out any 49 to suggest that the mobile phone stretched the work time beyond employees ability to deal with. III.

The result is that graduates cannot enter the 52 for which they were trained, and they must take temporar
32、y jobs which do not require a college degree and these temporary jobs are most probably becoming 53 ones in the severe labor markets. 54 , there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen.
