《研究与技术管理》杂志近期刊文对日本不久前发表的1995年科技白皮书进行了评论,文章指出正当美国公司继续大肆裁减白领专业人员之时,日本却在致力于提高其技术人员的创造性。 据《纽约时代》的一份特别报告,自1979年以来,在美国的诸如工程、办公室工作、教育、保健和法律等白领行业中已有1870万人失业。 In a recent issue of Research and Technology Management, Japan commented on the 1995 White Paper on Technology not long ago in Japan, stating that Japan is committed to increasing the creativity of its technical staff as U.S. companies continue to plunge their white-collar professionals. According to a special report in The New York Times, since 1979, 18.7 million people have been unemployed in white-collar industries such as engineering, office work, education, health care and law in the United States.
