例句

正确说法

• 今年第三季度，青年失业率持续走高的问题引发了政策层面的高度重视，多个部委联合出台了促进应届毕业生就业的专项扶持方案。(In the third quarter of this year, the continued rise in youth unemployment drew intense attention at the policy level, prompting multiple ministries and commissions to jointly introduce a dedicated support plan to promote employment among recent graduates.)
• 结构调整期出现一定失业率很正常，但若超过临界点，政府就要介入防止风险积聚。(A certain unemployment rate during structural adjustment is normal, but if it exceeds a critical point, the government must intervene to prevent risks from building up.)

错误说法

• 失业率 interchangeably with 就业率 (employment rate) — they measure opposite ends of the same labour market spectrum and conflating the two will produce a serious analytical error
