美国8月就业增长大幅放缓;失业率升至4.3%

摘要

美国经济8月仅新增2.2万个就业岗位,失业率上升至4.3%,显示招聘活动显著放缓。

根据美国劳工统计局(BLS)数据,美国经济8月份新增非农就业岗位2.2万个,较7月份新增的7.9万个大幅下降。失业率从7月份的4.2%上升至4.3%,达到近四年来的高点。

劳工统计局还下调了6月份的就业数据,由此前估计的增加1.4万个调整为减少1.3万个。这是自2020年12月以来首次出现月度就业岗位减少。

经济学家将招聘放缓归因于多种因素,包括特朗普总统的激进关税政策和严格的移民政策,这些措施限制了招聘并减少了劳动力供应。制造业、批发贸易和商业服务等多个行业出现就业岗位流失,医疗保健和社会援助领域则有小幅增长。

就业增长不及预期,增加了美联储考虑降息的压力。纽约联邦储备银行行长约翰·威廉姆斯表示,如果经济继续显示放缓迹象,逐步降息可能是合适的选择。

针对令人失望的就业数据,特朗普总统解雇了劳工统计局局长埃里卡·麦肯塔弗,指控统计数据被操纵,但未提供证据。麦肯塔弗是拜登任命并于2024年经参议院确认的官员,已在联邦政府工作二十年。

此举引发经济学家和政策制定者的批评。前劳工统计局局长、特朗普任命的威廉·比奇表示,此次解雇“树立了危险的先例,削弱了劳工统计局的统计使命”。

特朗普提名保守派智库传统基金会首席经济学家E.J.安东尼接替麦肯塔弗。安东尼长期批评劳工统计局,并为保守政策蓝图“2025计划”做出贡献。

最新就业数据及其后续发展引发了对联邦经济统计独立性及数据报告政治化可能性的担忧。
