When we talk about jobs, it's usually do you have one or not. Often overlooked our some of the changing dynamics within the workplace and demographics are playing a key role.
當我們談論工作時，通常會問你有沒有一份工作，而忽視動態的職場和職工統計在扮演多么重要的角色。
A new CareerBuilder survey finds that 43% of all employees are reporting to a boss who is younger than they are. More than half of workers aged 45 and older are in the same position and almost 70% of those 55 plus have a younger boss.
一項新的凱業必達職場調查發現43%的職員在向比自己年輕的老板匯報工作。超過一半的年齡在45歲以上的員工職位一樣，幾乎70%的年齡超過55歲的員工在為更年輕的老板工作。
Now you may think the nation's high unemployment rate is the blame for these budding leaders. However, that's not the case. The latest government data shows that older demographics especially those over 45 have lower unemployment rates than the national average during the past year when the jobless rates bite.
現在你也許會把國家的高失業率歸咎于這些初露頭角的領導。然而，事實并不是這樣。最新的政府數據顯示，在失業率大增的去年年紀大的人口（尤其是那些年齡超過45周歲的員工）的失業率低于國家正常水平。
Meantime the Americans 25 to 34 years old are dealing with unemployment rates well above the U.S. average and that means the average age of the job force has increased, so the percentage of middle-aged and older people in the work force has increased.
與此同時，年齡在25至34歲之間的美國年輕人的失業率高于美國平均水平，這意味著職場主力軍的平均年齡提高了，因此中年人和老年人在勞動大軍中所占的比例增加了。
Although CareerBuilder found the younger boss, older worker situation doesn't cause significant problems there are some challenges that do crop up frequently. Frustrations can arise when younger bosses are acting entitled when they micromanage, when they favor younger workers or don't give enough direction.
盡管凱業必達發現老板年輕化和職工年老化沒有引起重大問題，但的確面臨著一些突發的挑戰。當年輕的老板們在事無巨細得管理時表現出怠慢，當他們器重年輕的員工或者指示不夠嚴謹時，就會引發沮喪情緒。
CareerBuilder offers some advice for mature workers dealing with these challenges including adapting your communication to fit better with technology and trying not to make assumptions about younger workers. But regardless of who your boss is, keep in mind that you have one.
凱業必達為年長的職員提供了一些建議，來幫助他們處理這些挑戰，包括調整交流方式來更好地適應現代科技，不要對年輕的職員妄下評論。不管你的老板是誰，記住你有個老板就行了。
