8、rty years ago, Americans who didnt go to college could move to cities and get good jobs in manufacturing or office work. But starting in about 1980, these jobs began to disappear, thanks in part to沅g(离岸夕卜包)and automation.Workers without a college education were increasingly moved to low-skilled serv
9、ice jobs. Even as educational inequality was growing, geographic inequality was growing as well. High- skilled occupations increasingly clustered(聚集)in cities, while low-skilled service jobs have become more plentiful outside of urban centers. At the same time, wages for mid-skilled jobs like manufa
10、cturing and office work equalized between cities and rural areas - workers in these jobs can no longer get much of a pay bump by moving into town. Thus, a major route to middle-class prosperity has been closed off.Some of this can be explained by virtue of the two basic economic reasons for cities t
11、o exist in a modern economy - agglomeration(and clustering. Agglomeration refers to the tendency of businesses of all types, but especially manufacturers, to locate near each other. This happens because employers want to be near to employees, who want to be near to the businesses they work for and b
12、uy goods from. The result is a city with lots of different industries.Clustering on the other hand, refers to the tendency of companies within a single industry to want to be near each other. Clustering effects are much stronger in knowledge-based industries like tech and finance, because ideas are
13、their lifeblood, and workers who live near each other tend to share ideas with each other. Clustering also arises because of the need for employers to have access to a deep pool of skilled workers.As the U.S. economy has transferred manufacturing overseas or automated it, and as consumers have moved
14、 from buying more physical goods to buying more digital services, agglomeration has become less important relative to clustering. The smokestack cities of the last century have given way to tech hubs and financial centers.So whats to be done in order to help mid-skilled and non-college workers live
15、decent, middle-class lives? And how can the emerging divide between small towns and big cities be arrested? One idea is to build lots more housing in cities, driving down rents and making cities more livable for everyone. Another idea is to use research universities to revive economically depressed
16、regions by dispersing knowledge workers to less-populated areas.But in the end, the government may simply have to step in and intervene on behalf of the services class. Wage subsidies, portable pensions and various other incentives for higher wages can be deployed to make todays low-skilled jobs mor
17、e like the good office and factory jobs of yesteryear. The alternative may be to watch non-college workers and small towns fall further behind.62. Which of the following is NOT the reason why more low-skilled workers are shut away from middle-class prosperity?A. The education opportunities are unequ
