美国初请人数下降,与鲍威尔的说法一致
美国上周初请失业金人数有所下降,此前正值春季假期和4月底的复活节假期,初请人数曾出现短期飙升。截至5月3日当周,初请失业金人数减少1.3万人,至22.8万人。这与经济学家的预测中值大致相符。上周续请失业金人数也下降至188万人。这表明尽管在关税和特朗普政府缩减联邦政府的行动带来了连锁反应,经济不确定性增加,但裁员水平依然较低。美联储主席鲍威尔周三表示,尽管关税可能导致失业率和通胀率上升,但劳动力市场仍然稳固。“人们感到压力和担忧。但失业率没有上升,创造就业机会情况良好,工资状况良好。”“初请失 业金人数并没有以任何令人惊讶的方式增加。因此,经济本身仍处于稳健状态,”鲍威尔说。
