Working at nonstandard times—evenings, nights, or weekends—is taking its toll on American families. One-fifth of all employed Americans work variable or rotating shifts, and one-third work weekends, according to Harriet B. Presser, sociology professor at the University of Maryland. The result is stress on familial relationships, which is likely to continue in coming decades. The consequences of working irregular hours vary according to gender, economic level, and whether or not children are involved. Single mothers are more likely to work nights and weekends than married mothers. Women in clerical, sales, or other low-paying jobs participate disproportionately in working late and graveyard shifts. Married-couple households with children are increasingly becoming dual-earner households, generating more split-shift couples. S A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Objective. 查看答案 更多"Text 1 Working at nonstan"的相关试题: [单项选择] Text 1 Working at nonstandard times—evenings, nights, or weekends—is taking its toll on American families.

"Social war is under full headway," commented Engels, who blamed the crime wave on the growing proletariat. It is hard to imagine what the gloomy social scientist would have made of the fact that, 160 years later, London’s police would be recording 2,500 crimes per day. Most striking is the rise of mugging. In 1993 there were 323,000 robberies in England and Wales, according to the British Crime Survey-the highest since the survey began in 1981.
