特朗普呼吁解雇劳工统计局官员,因就业报告疲软

摘要

特朗普总统在令人失望的七月就业报告发布后,呼吁解除劳工统计局局长职务;专家们则对持续的关税政策下联邦劳工数据的公正性表示担忧。

特朗普总统呼吁解雇劳工统计局局长埃丽卡·麦肯塔弗(Erika McEntarfer),此前发布的报告显示美国雇主七月份仅新增7.3万个就业岗位,且前几个月的就业增长数据被下调。失业率上升至4.2%,劳动力参与率下降,上个月约有4万人退出劳动力市场。

特朗普在报告发布前一天宣布对多个国家实施新关税,他指责就业数据被政治操纵,并在社交媒体上表示,麦肯塔弗将被一位“更有能力和资格”的人取代。麦肯塔弗是在拜登政府期间任命的,任期原定至2028年,但联邦法律允许总统在任期结束前罢免局长。

制造业七月份减少了1.1万个就业岗位,联邦政府裁员1.2万人,延续了劳动力减少的趋势。工厂经理们表示,关税持续带来的不确定性抑制了订单和生产活动,一位匿名经理在行业调查中形容当前形势“困难且代价高昂”。

尽管招聘放缓,七月份平均工资同比上涨3.9%,超过通胀水平。彼得森国际经济研究所高级研究员杰德·科尔科(Jed Kolko)将放缓归因于劳动力供应减少,尤其是在依赖移民工人的行业。

疲软的就业数据预计将增加美联储在即将召开的九月会议上降息的压力。美联储本周早些时候维持利率不变,同时也在为理事阿德里安娜·库格勒(Adriana Kugler)辞职做准备,她将重返学术界。
