Some 4,000 Rhode Islanders have already graduated into new higher-paying jobs. But, in general, says Professor Doug Besharov, government isn't the ideal overseer.

大约有4000名罗德岛居民已经毕业，进入了新的高薪工作岗位。但是，道格·贝沙洛夫教授说，总的来说，政府并不是理想的监督者。

Some 5,000 Rhode Islanders will lose their jobless benefits after congress failed to renew the emergency unemployment compensation program before leaving for the holidays.

如果国会未能在假期前批准紧急失业补助项目，约5千名罗得岛州民众将失去失业救济。
