6. The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted1 to regional life.
Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helioss unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. It is the industrial center of the region, and historically it has provided more than its share of the regions manufacturing jobs. In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative2 technologies.
一份面向地方生活的杂志上的一篇文章:
企业在探寻新的商业机会或地方时应该去Helios城。甚至在近期的衰退中,Helios的失业率也比区域平均水平低,它是区域的工业中心,历史上它提供的比它在区域制造业工作中推荐的份额中更多。而且,Helios正试图通过吸引研究和进步改革技术的公司来扩张它的经济基础。
1. 作者觉得应该到该区域建厂理由是这里的失业率非常高。但却没给出因果关系。从常理来看这是没道理的由于失业率高的地方可能更难雇佣到雇员从而使本钱增加。
2. 作者觉得该区域会鼓励研发,所以应该到该区域投资。但事实上就象作者说的那样该区域是制造业中心如何可能有不少对技术和科研非常熟练的职员。
1, 由于H区域industrial and manufacturing比较attractive,所以那里的工人非常可能只合适做这种的,假如缺少可以做innovative technologies and research的工人labor pool,那样非常可能致使失败。
2, H的低失业率更可能成为坏处。由于譬如有less available work force。企业需要提升wage才能吸引他们。提升了cosplayT。
3, 错误的假设过去的成功可以代表将来。比如已经饱和的资源、过分的角逐、与可能出现的错误政策,都可能致使H区域的经济不再发达。
In this argument corporations are urged to consider the city of Helios when seeking a new location or new business opportunities. To support this recommendation, the author points out that Helios is the industrial center of the region, providing most of the regions manufacturing jobs and enjoying a lower-than-average unemployment rate. Moreover, it is argued, efforts are currently underway to expand the economic base of the city by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies. This argument is problematic for two reasons.
To begin with, it is questionable4 whether the available labor3 pool in Helios could support all types of corporations. Given that Helios has attracted mainly industrial and manufacturing companies in the past, it is unlikely that the local pool of prospective5 employees would be suitable for corporations of other types. For example, the needs of research and development companies would not be met by a labor force trained in manufacturing skills. For this reason, its unlikely that Helios will be successful in its attempt to attract companies that focus or research and development of innovative technologies.
Another problem with the available work force is its size. Due to the lower than average unemployment rate in Helios, corporations that require large numbers of workers would not find Helios attractive. The fact that few persons are out of work suggests that new corporations will have to either attract new workers to Helios or pay the existing workers higher wages in order to lure6 them away from their current jobs. Neither of these alternatives seems enticing7 to companies seeking to relocate.
In conclusion, the author has not succeeded in providing compelling reasons for selecting Helios as the site for a company wishing to relocate. In fact, the reasons offered function better as reasons for not relocating to Helios. Nor has the author provided compelling reasons for companies seeking new business opportunities to choose Helios.
