For decades, young people in the US flocked to New York, Los Angeles and Chicago to build their careers before taking their earnings into the suburbs to raise families. That pattern appears to be fading now, as more young workers are staying put, a Wall Street Journal story reported recently. According to an analysis of census data by the Brookings Institution and The Wall Street Journal, from 2004 to 2007, before the recession, an average of about 50,000 adults aged 25 to 34 left both the New York and Los Angeles metro areas annually. The recession diminished this flow. Fewer than 23,000 young adults left New York annually between 2010 and 2013. Only about 12,000 left Los Angeles —a drop of nearly 80 percent from before th e recession. Chicago’s departures dropped about 60 percent.
Big cities offer many of the highest-paying jobs for a generation that was starting or just settling into their careers when the recession hit, an Atlantic article pointed out.
But after young people have lived in a big city for a few years, they find it increasingly difficult to get an economic foothold that would allow them to leave.
在中国，越来越多的年轻人逃离大城市，移居环境较好的小城镇；与此同时，在美国，却有越来越多的年轻人发现自己被困在了大城市。

过去的几十年间，美国的年轻人蜂拥至纽约、洛杉矶和芝加哥立业，然后带着积蓄到城郊安家落户。

而据《华尔街日报》报道，现在这种模式已经没落，更多的年轻人仍留在城里。

据布鲁金斯学会与《华尔街日报》的人口普查分析显示，自2004年至2007年，也就是经济衰退之前，每年平均约5万年龄在25-34岁之间的年轻人离开纽约、洛杉矶等大城市。

随着经济衰退，这一数字也开始下降。

2010年至2013年间，每年离开纽约的年轻人只有不到2.3万。

而离开洛杉矶的人数相比衰退前则几乎缩水了80%，只有1.2万人。

离开芝加哥的人数则下降了60%左右。

《大西洋月刊》报道指出，经济衰退来临时，大城市为事业刚刚起步的年轻人提供了很多高薪的就业机会。

但是，当这些年轻人在大城市生活几年之后，他们就会发现自己愈来愈难拥有离开大城市的经济基础。

支付宝于1月15日发布了个人年度账单，列出了用户的个人开销以及在线支付方式，这随即引起轰动。

微博上人们纷纷晒出网购账单以及看到自己消费额后的感想。

正如你所料，多数人都被自己的账单雷到了。

去年，陈思的淘宝账单约为1万元人民币，超过济南市60%的网购用户，占她日常开销的一多半。

并未网购过什么昂贵商品的陈思在看到自己的账单之前根本不知道钱都花到哪里去了，而她也被贴上了“网购新贵”的标签。

The annua l statement, which shows consumers’ personal spending and online payment patterns, caused a stir when it was released by Alipay on Jan 15. Many micro-bloggers shared how much money they spend shopping online, and how they felt after discovering the extent of their consumption. As you may have guessed, most of them were shocked by their statement.
Last year, Chen Si spent about 10,000 yuan on Taobao —more than 60 percent of online shoppers in the city of Jinan and more than half of her living expenses. Chen, who didn’t buy any expensive items online, had no idea where her money went before seeing the statement, which labeled her as “an upstart of online shopping”.
