Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #35280 Medium Different Stories of Economy
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Here  are  a  couple  different  stories  you  can  tell  about  our  economy.  One  goes  like  this.  Eight  years  after  the    economic  crisis  of  our  lifetimes,  our  economy  has  created  jobs  for  71  straight  months.  Thats  a  new  record.    has  fallen  below  five  percent.  Last  year,  the    household  saw  its  income  grow  by  about  twenty-eight  hundred  dollars    the  biggest  one-year  increase  ever.  And  the    rate  is  at  an  all-time  low.  All  that  is  true.  What's  also  true  is  that  too  much  of  our  wealth  is  still  taken  by  the  top  and  that  leaves  too  many  families  still  working  paycheck  to  paycheck,  without  a  lot  of    room.  There  are  two  things  we  can  do  about  this.  We  can  prey  on  people's  worries  for    gain.  Or  we  can  actually  do  something  to  help  working  families  feel  more  secure  in  today's  economy.  Count  me  in  the    camp.  And  here's  one  thing  that  will  help  right  away:  making  sure  more  of  our  families  have  access  to  paid  leave.
