US Employers Add 162,000 Jobs in August as Hiring Rebounds
美国8月新增就业16.2万人,就业市场回暖
US employers added a surprising 162,000 jobs in August, rebounding from a weak July, while the unemployment rate held steady at a low 4.1 percent, the Labor Department said. Revisions added 55,000 jobs to June and July payrolls. Wage growth remained modest, rising about 3 percent from a year earlier. Economists call the market “no-hire, no-fire”: layoffs stay rare and most workers enjoy strong job security, though young people still struggle to find entry-level jobs as labor shortages persist.
美国劳工部公布的数据显示,8月就业新增16.2万人,超出预期,从7月的疲软表现中明显反弹,失业率维持在4.1%的低位。同时,6月和7月的就业数据合计上修5.5万人。薪资增长依然温和,同比上涨约3%。经济学家将当前就业市场形容为”不招不裁”:裁员稀少,多数员工就业保障稳固,但在劳动力持续短缺的背景下,年轻人寻找入门级工作仍面临困难。
