伦敦高技能人才短缺
伦敦商界领袖们表示，首都的技术人才短缺现象正日益加重，政府的教育和培训改革未能提供充足的高技能员工，以满足它们的需求。
London's business leaders say skills shortages in the capital are getting worse, with the government's education and training reforms failing to produce sufficient skilled staff for their needs.
最新的《英国工商业联合会/毕马威伦敦商业调查》(CBI/KPMG London Business Survey)发现，74%的企业表示在寻找高技能员工方面存在困难，这个比例高于一年以前的61%，比2005年1月时高出一倍。
The latest CBI/KPMG London Business Survey found 74 per cent of companies reporting problems with finding skilled staff, up from 61 per cent a year ago and half in January 2005.
在126家企业中，有五分之四表示，它们预计未来6个月会面临进一步的人才短缺--这些企业在伦敦雇佣着近50万人。
Four-fifths of the 126 businesses - which employ almost half a million people in the capital - said they expected to run into further shortages over the next six months.
英国工商业联合会总干事理查德o兰伯特(Richard Lambert)表示："很多人都会震惊地发现，这个城市比英国其它地区的失业率都高，同时雇主又越来越难以找人填补高技能职位的空缺。"
Richard Lambert, director-general of the CBI employers' body, said: "It will shock many to discover that the city has the highest unemployment rate of any region in the UK while, at the same time, employers are increasingly struggling to fill skilled job vacancies.
"我们需要逐步改变所提供的教育和培训，确保拥有所需要的高技能员工，保持在全球竞争中的领先地位。"
"We need a step-change in education and training delivery to ensure we have the highly-skilled workforce we need to stay ahead of the global competition."
