美国初请失业金人数降至218,000,显示劳动力市场韧性

摘要

截至9月20日当周,美国初请失业金人数降至218,000,低于预期的235,000,表明劳动力市场持续强劲。

截至9月20日当周,美国季调后初请失业金人数下降至218,000人,较前一周修正后的数据减少14,000人。根据劳工部周四发布的报告,这一下降远低于道琼斯共识预期的235,000人。

反映已领取失业救济人数的持续申领人数保持相对稳定,减少2,000人至192.6万人。

美联储最近将基准借贷利率下调了0.25个百分点,至4%至4.25%的区间。联邦公开市场委员会在9月17日的声明中指出,“就业的下行风险有所上升”。尽管非农就业增长放缓,职位空缺降至多年低点,最新的初请数据表明企业在招聘率下降的情况下仍不愿大规模裁员。

初请数据波动较大,德州等州近几周出现显著波动。根据未调整数据,德州上周申领人数减少近7,000人。

在其他经济指标方面,商务部将第二季度国内生产总值(GDP)增长率上调至3.8%,主要受消费者支出增加和进口减少推动。个人消费支出占美国经济约三分之二,第二季度增长2.5%,高于第一季度的0.6%。

此外,耐用品支出(如家电和电脑)8月增长2.9%,超过预期的下降0.4%,并好于7月下降2.7%的表现。

美联储官员正密切关注这些经济数据,以指导未来的政策决策。近期报告显示经济前景总体积极,住房市场出现改善迹象。8月新建住宅销售激增20.5%,为2022年1月以来最大涨幅。

尽管数据稳健,市场仍预计美联储将在今年10月和12月的会议上各实施两次降息。

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔周二发表讲话时表示,经济“在贸易和移民政策以及财政、监管和地缘政治领域发生重大变化的背景下展现出韧性”。他还指出,政策对增长仍“适度限制”,为未来可能的进一步宽松留下空间。
