  News report 1
  [1]The international labor organization says the number of people without jobs is increasing. In its latest update on global employment trends, the agency says projections of the number on unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people living on less than 2 dollars per day in the past 3 years. [2]The director general of the international labor organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis. However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes 4-5 years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the international labor organization is proposing a global jobs agreement to deal with unemployment. “Its key objective is to place the center of recovery efforts, measures that will generate higher levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.”
  Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
