新东方蓝本增补篇Passage 5 （P44）

Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several times the number unemployed in any month, those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average annual unemployment, even though only a minority of the jobless in any month really suffer.

我的理解是，由于一段时间内的失业人数是每月失业人数的好几倍，那些被迫失业的人要超过一年的平均失业者（这是什么意思？是我翻译不对，还是理解问题？）即使每月实际只有少部分人遭受失业。

求解释，实在看不懂什么意思，郁闷，谢谢！
