peer agreement (net): +4| if unemployed, a person aged 50 or more... People over 50 find their chances of gaining employment reduced tenfold if currently unemployed. Explanation: There's a grammatical problem with "see" (would have to be "sees"); aside from that it's OK but a little heavy. How about this?: People over 50 find their chances of gaining employment reduced tenfold if currently unemployed. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2004-08-10 22:07:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or \"people over 50 find their chances of getting a job reduced tenfold if currently unemployed\". (Although \"getting a job\" is on a slightly different (lower) level than \"reduced tenfold\" (higher), so I\'ve suggested \"gaining employment\". I don\'t like \"if currently employed\" being at the end of my sentence but if you put it at the beginning (\"Unemployed people over 50 find their chances of gaining employment reduced tenfold\") - hmm - I guess you could, but \"reduced tenfold\" feels a bit naked at the end. |
