19、ek their fortune elsewhere.For the first 300 or so years of European settlement,the story was about moving outward:getting immigrants to the continent and then to the frontier to clear the prairies(大草原),drain the wetlands and build new cities.B By the end of the 19th century,as the frontier vanished
20、,the US had a mild panic attack.What would this energetic,enterprising country be without new lands to conquer?Some people,such as Teddy Roosevelt,decided to keep on conquering(Cuba,the Philippines,etc.),but eventually,in industrialization,the US found a new narrative of economic mobility at home.Fr
21、om the 1890s to the 1960s,people moved from farm to city,first in the North and then in the South.In fact,by the 1950s,there was enough prosperity and white-collar work that many began to move to the suburbs.As the population aged,there was also a shift from the cold Rust Belt to the comforts of the
22、 Sun Belt,We think of this as an old person s migration,but it created many jobs for the young in construction and health care,not to mention tourism,retail and restaurants.C For the last 20 years from the end of the cold war through two burst bubbles in a single decade the US has been casting about
23、 for its next economic narrative.And now it is experiencing another period of panic,which is bad news for much of the workforce but particularly for its youngest members.D The US has always been a remarkably mobile country,but new data from the Census Bureau indicate that mobility has reached its lo
24、west level in recorded history.Sure,some people are stuck in homes valued at less than their mortgages(抵押贷款),but many young peoplewho don t own homes and don t yet have familiesare staying put,too.This suggests,among other things,that people aren t packing up for new economic opportunities the way t
25、hey used to.Rather than dividing the country into the 1 percenters versus(与相对)everyone else,the split in our economy is really between two other classes:the mobile and immobile.E Part of the problem is that the country s largest industries are in decline.In the past,it was perfectly clear where youn

39、hat a college degree alone is no longer a guarantor of a good job.While graduates from top universities are still likely to get a good job no matter what their major is,he said,graduates from less-famous schools are going to be judged on what they know.To compete for jobs on a national level,they sh
