参考答案:The chart shows that the U. S. workforce, about ADE million in number, matched job demands well in B000. However, the gap between workforce and jobs, especially skilled jobs, appeared soon after B00A. The shortage of skilled workers is estimated to grow to about E.E million by B0A0, and AD million ten years later. The overall workforce gap will be about H million in B0A0, and BE million in B0B0. 　　The cartoonist warns that the supply of labor is about to fall seriously short of demand, which means that the economical development will be hampered by the scarcity of labor, especially skilled workers, over the next B0 years. The labor squeeze may result from the fact that the existing workforce is going to get out soon, and the feeder pool just isn’t coming up. 　　Possible precautions against the threat of labor shortage may include: providing effective job training for most employees, bidding up wages for skilled workers, tempting older workers to stay on the jobs they are skilled in, and lobbying the govemment to raise the share of skilled immigrants. Anyhow, what Americans are to do least is ignore the severity of the problem.
