You look a bit unhappy today. What's up?
Well, my mom lost her job yesterday.
I'm sorry to hear that. Well, I heard that the registered urban unemployment rate reached 4% this year and more than half are women.
Supply is outstripping demand in the job market and women are in a disadvantageous position in general.
Yes, it's true. What is she going to do?
Well. She is thinking of doing some household cleaning or babysitting in the community.
That's not bad, it could be a short-term alternative. Your mom can look for another job when the market improves. Things will workout eventually.
I just hope she won't feel depressed.
How about searching for information on jobs on the internet?
That's a good idea, thank you.
