电影幕后技工
<p> 2015复习正是强化复习阶段，在考研英语中占了40分，所以考研英语阅读是英语科目中重要的一项。名师老师曾建议过考研生需要坚持每天泛读10-15分钟的英文原刊。强烈推荐了杂志《经济学人》.杂志中的文章也是考研英语的主要材料来源.希望考研考生认真阅读，快速提高考研英语阅读水平。 <span word="Skilled">Skilled</span> <span

在亚特兰大郊区，新到的外侨以及凶残的青年有可能会成为一个令人担忧的问题。但是在亚特兰大传媒学校以及工作室里，这些人却不是电影里的角色。该地已经迎来了饥饿游戏系列的两部电影以及电影第五波。让当地居民担心的是，乔治亚州无法自产工作员工，这些员工的工作包括建造电影现场、控制电路或者为这类电影控制声效。这种技能的缺失将会造成大约40亿美元的损失，而这笔钱目恰恰是有重建综合设施的电影计划的吉姆雅各比预估电影产业今年将产生的利润。

word="Cinipix">Cinipix</span>从加利福尼亚州迁到乔治亚州。但是海登先生依然从弗洛里达州和纽约招募大量工作人员。他说，这是一个很大的问题。州的电影产业只有在该地的员工可以被录用的情况，才能够产生利润。 <span word="Georgia">Georgia</span> <span word="s">s</span> <span

比起电影工业，乔治亚州技工的缺失更为严重。即使州失业率徘徊在7.4%，且远高于国家失业率，四个商人退休也只有一个人顶替。然而，一个类似的问题，尽管没那么急型，在美国却显而易见。超过有一半的商人年龄高于45岁。劳工部称，到2022年，美国将还需要4.17万名泥瓦匠、11.47万名电工以及21.82万名木匠。政府每年已经花费170亿美元，努力去解决奥巴马总统口中的技能鸿沟问题。7月22日，奥巴马总统签署了法律文件，该法律将使得由联邦出资的岗位培训项目更加高效、更加负责。

其中一个项目叫做建造乔治亚，该项目教年轻人学会交易。但是训练年轻人成为水管工却引发了父母的担忧。乔治亚职业与技术教育协会的主任马修甘比尔说道，不以培养一个未来的焊接工为豪，每个人都希望他们的小孩会去读名校。暂且不说技工教育的低费用以及坚实的就业前景，自2010年经济不景气学生要求入学，技校的升学率已经下降了23%。 <span word="Still">Still</span>, <span

尽管如此，乔治亚州依旧投入大量资金支持培训，而且瞄准急需技工的电影产业。去年，就学校教交易课投入2400万美元，而州技校则投入3.18亿美元。一些这样的机构已经与电影工作室合作，开设专业课程。乔治亚影视音乐数字娱乐办公室的副总监李汤姆说，一所独立学院也同样为那些希望成名的幕后工作者提供帮助。 <span word="Mr">Mr</span> <span
