WEEKLY ADDRESS: Expanding Overtime Pay (May 21, 2016)	奥巴马每周电台演讲：增加加班工资
[00:00.96]Hi everybody.  	大家好。 
[00:02.35] Last summer, I got a letter from a woman named Elizabeth Paredes from Tucson, Arizona.   	上个夏天,我收到了来自亚利桑那州的塔克逊的一位名叫伊丽莎白?普拉迪斯的妇女的来信。 
[00:07.86]Elizabeth is the mom of a 3-year-old boy, and an assistant manager at a sandwich shop.   	伊丽莎白是一个三岁的男孩的母亲,和一家三明治店的副店长。 
[00:13.26]She earns about $2,000 a month, and she routinely works some 50 hours a week, sometimes even more.   	她的月工资大约为$2,000美元,每周照常工作大约50个小时,有时候可能更多。 
[00:20.73]But because of outdated overtime regulations, she doesn't have to be paid a dime of overtime. 	因为过时的加班法规,她得不到一毛钱的加班费。 
[00:27.15]She wrote: "It's not easy work and requires a lot of time away from my son… at times I find [it's] not worth it. "	她写道："工作实在不容易,占用了我大量的陪儿子的时间……很多时候我感觉这个工作有点不值。 "
[00:36.17]Things like the 40-hour workweek and overtime are two of the most basic pillars of a middle class life.  	诸如每周工作40小时和加班费是中产阶级生活的两个最基本的支柱。 
[00:42.68] But for all the changes we've seen in our economy, our overtime rules have only been updated once since the 1970s. Just once.  	但是我看到的我们的经济中的所有改变中,我们的加班法规自1970年以来仅仅更新了一次。 仅仅一次。 
[00:51.46]    In fact, forty years ago, more than 60 percent of workers were eligible for overtime based on their salaries.  	事实上,四十年前,超过百分之60的工人可以获得与他们的工资挂钩的加班费。 
[00:57.64]  But today, that number is down to seven percent.   	但是今天,这个数字降到了百分之7。 
[01:00.81]  Only seven percent of full-time salaried workers are eligible for overtime based on their income. 	仅仅百分之7的全职工人可以获得与他们的工资挂钩的加班费。 
[01:06.82]That's why this week, my Administration took a step to help more workers get the overtime pay they've earned.   	这就是为什么本周,本届政府采取了措施帮助更多的工人获得他们理应得到的加班费。 
[01:13.35]The Department of Labor finalized a rule to extend overtime protections to 4.2 million more Americans.   	劳工部最终推出了规则把加班保护范围再扩大4百20万人。 
[01:20.41]It's a move that will boost wages for working Americans by $12 billion over the next 10 years.   	这是一个在未来10年里,为工薪阶层增加$120亿美元工资的动议。 
[01:26.57]We're more than doubling the overtime salary threshold.   	我们不仅使加班门槛翻翻。 
[01:30.32]And what that means is, most salaried workers who earn less than about $47,500 a year will qualify for overtime.   	这意味着,大多数年收入低于$47,500美元的工人将有资格获得加班费。 
[01:39.81]Or, their employers can choose to give them a raise so that they earn more than $47,500.   	或,他们的雇主可以选择提高他们的工资以使他们的工资超过$47,500美元。 
[01:47.54]Or, if employers don't want to raise wages, they can let them go home after 40 hours and see their families or train for new jobs.   	或者,如果雇主不打算提高工资,他们可以在40小时工作后让他们下班回家陪他们的家人或为新工作进行培训。 
[01:55.33]Any way you slice it, it's a win for working families.  	无论你怎么分配时间,对工薪家庭都是成功。 
[01:58.69]And we're making sure that every three years, there will be an automatic update to this threshold  	我们将确保每过三年,这个加班门槛将自动更新
[02:04.12]so that working families won't fall through the cracks for decades at a time ever again. 	以使工薪家庭再也不会几十年跳一次龙门。 
[02:09.33]This is the single biggest step I can take through executive action to raise wages for the American people.   	这是我运用行政权力采取的最大一项措施为美国人民提高工资。 
[02:15.20]It means that millions of hardworking Americans like Elizabeth will either get paid for working more than 40 hours, or they'll get more time with their families.   	这意味着几百万诸如伊丽莎白一样的工薪阶层,要么工资超过40小时就获得加班费,要么他们可以有更多的时间陪家人。 
[02:23.30]Either way, they win.   The middle class wins.   And America wins. 	无论哪一种方式,他们都赢了。 中产阶级赢了。 美国人民赢了。 
[02:27.52]We still have more work to do to make sure this economy works for everybody, not just those at the top.   	我们还要再进一步,确保我们的经济惠及每个人,不仅仅是最顶层的少数人。 
[02:32.25]That's why I'll never stop fighting for as long as I hold this office C 	这就是为什么,只要我还是总统,
[02:36.40]to restore the sense that in America, hard work should be rewarded with the chance to get ahead. 	我要继续为在美国恢复这样的意识―努力工作就会得到致富的机会。 
[02:42.45]Thanks everybody.   Have a great weekend. 	谢谢各位。 周末快乐。
