虽然全球遭遇经济危机，2012年伦敦奥林匹克公园的建设却如火如荼，英国奥委会宣布，伦敦奥运会将需要三万名工人投入建设之中。

目前，有七千人正在伦敦东部的场馆附近施工，其中23%来自本地。奥运场馆建设还为伦敦的就业者创造了很多实习的机会，如目前就有2500人在现场担任实习职务，实习生的数量还会增加250人。

伦敦奥运执行部的主席John Armitt表示，伦敦奥运场馆建设“一切顺利”。主体育场已经初具雏形，同时位于Weymouth和Portland帆船比赛的场馆已经完工。

OLYMPICS 'TO CREATE 30,000 JOBS'

Construction of the London 2012 Olympic Park will create jobs for a total of 30,000 workers, according to the organisers of the Games.

The Olympic Delivery Authority says 7,000 people have already worked on the east London site and of the current workforce, 23% are local residents.

The ODA also says it is creating 250 new apprenticeships on top of an existing 2,000 already planned.

ODA Chairman John Armitt said the building work was "right on track". Mr Armitt said good progress was being made, with the Olympic Stadium taking shape and the first venue - the sailing facilities in Weymouth and Portland - completed.
