美国就业增长在经济不确定性和贸易政策影响下放缓

摘要

美国劳动力市场在七月份显著放缓,仅新增7.3万个就业岗位,且前几个月的数据被大幅下调,引发了对当前贸易政策对经济稳定性影响的担忧。

美国劳动力市场在七月份显著放缓,雇主仅新增7.3万个就业岗位,低于预期的11.5万个。此外,劳工统计局将五月和六月的就业数据合计下调了25.8万个岗位。因此,随着更多人退出劳动力市场,失业率微升至4.2%。

经济学家将这一放缓归因于政府的贸易政策,包括关税和移民限制,这些政策带来了不确定性并扰乱了经济动力。制造业和专业服务等行业报告了就业岗位的减少,而医疗保健和社会援助行业则新增了7.33万个职位。

总统唐纳德·特朗普质疑就业数据的可信度,指控数据被政治操控,随后解雇了劳工统计局局长埃里卡·麦肯塔弗。他批评数据下调是“重大错误”,尽管劳工统计局每月调整数据是惯例。

联邦储备官员指出,由于关税影响不确定,企业表现出犹豫。克利夫兰联邦储备银行行长贝丝·哈马克表示:“我听到企业普遍感到不确定性沉重影响。他们难以决定何时投资、投资多少,许多企业已缩减投资计划。”

制造业作为政府经济议程的重点,七月份减少了1.1万个就业岗位。进口金属关税提高了生产成本,影响了制造商的利润率。美国制造业联盟主席斯科特·保罗评论道:“这是又一个‘原地踏步’的数字,过去几年这种情况屡见不鲜。但令人担忧的是,我们现在比2023年2月的最近峰值少了17.3万个就业岗位。”

这些发展加剧了关于联邦储备货币政策的讨论,市场对可能降息以支持经济的猜测增加,因对滞胀的担忧日益加剧。
