　　There is a growing number of economists who believe today s brutally tough labormarket is not a temporary American oddity. Falling wages， reduced benefits and risingjob insecurity seem to be increasingly entrenched features of the job scene across mostof Western Europe， the United States and other parts of the developed world.

Laid-off workers are much less likely to be rehired bytheir old companies and have to find new jobs or turn to self-employment. Those whostill have jobs are working longer hours with little prospect of meaningful raises.
　　The new labor market is shaped by growing global competition， spurred by the riseof cheap manufacturers in China， India and Eastern Europe， and the price-choppingeffect of both the Internet and giant retailers led by Wal-Mart. These forces compelWestern companies to exercise a growing restraint on prices and labor cost. One thingglobalization clearly does is to exert a leveling effect on wages.
