到目前为止，国会仅仅通过了150亿的退税款政策用于增加2010年的就业和延长一些短期失业救助。

So far, Congress has passed only a $15 billion tax credit for hiring in 2010 and a few short-term extensions of unemployment benefits.

而同时，就业机会的增加保持在一个令人失望的慢速度，表明短期失业者由于对未来有一个比较好的预期，因而可能并不急于找工作。

Meanwhile, job growth has been, and looks to remain, disappointingly slow, indicating that those out of work for a while are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
