奥巴马每周电台演讲附视频： Pushing Forward on Jobs Following the best jobs numbers since 2007, the President recognizes that such trends are cold comfort to those who are struggling and pledges to continue pushing forward towards positive job growth. President Obama looks back at the Jobs Forum he hosted days before and looks ahead to further action. He emphatically restates why he ran for President in the first place: to fight for a country where responsibility is still rewarded, and hard-working people can get ahead. 在2007年以来最好的就业数据发布后，总统认识到这样的趋势对于那些正在挣扎中的人们并无实际意义，并保证继续推进就业积极增长。奥巴马总统回顾了前期他所主持的就业论坛，并展望了进一步的行动。他着重强调了他起初为什么要竞选总统：“为一个责任仍然是奖赏，努力工作的人能获得成功的国家而奋斗”。 Every month since January, when I became your President, I’ve spoken to you about the periodic reports of the Labor Department on the number of jobs created or lost during the previous month; numbers that tell a story about how America’s economy is faring overall. 从1月份我成为你们总统以来的每个月，我都会向你们谈起劳工部关于上个月创造或失去的就业数据的定期报告，数据讲述了美国经济总体进展情况如何。 In those first months, the numbers were nothing short of devastating.

Trends don’t buy the groceries. Trends don’t pay the rent or a college tuition. Trends don’t fulfill the need within each of us to be productive, to provide for our families, to make the most of our lives, to reach for our dreams. 但是对于那些上个月被解雇的人和上百万在这次衰退中失业的美国人来说，一个好的趋势是不够的。趋势不能买生活用品，趋势不能付租金和大学学费。趋势不能被制造，提供给我们的家庭，为我们的生活所利用，实现我们的梦想，以满足我们每个人的需要。 So, it is true that we, as a country, are in a very different place than we were when 2009 began.
