據(jù)美國(guó)?？怂股虡I(yè)頻道報(bào)道，上周美國(guó)勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)首次申請(qǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)金人數(shù)為26萬(wàn)人，達(dá)到去年11月以來(lái)的最高水平。這一數(shù)據(jù)近幾十年以來(lái)一直在低位運(yùn)行，但隨著通脹壓力膨脹和公司開(kāi)始削減招聘，自6月份以來(lái)開(kāi)始攀升。

The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits ticked higher last week, hitting the highest level in nine months.
上周，美國(guó)首次申請(qǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)的人數(shù)上升，達(dá)九個(gè)月來(lái)最高水平。

Figures released Thursday by the Labor Department show that applications for the week ended Aug. 6 rose to 262,000 from the downwardly revised 248,000 recorded a week earlier. That is above the 2019 pre-pandemic average of 218,000 claims and marks the highest level since mid-November.
美國(guó)勞工部8月11日公布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，截至8月6日的一周，首次申請(qǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)人數(shù)從前一周的24.8萬(wàn)上升至26.2萬(wàn)，高于疫情前21.8萬(wàn)的平均水平，是自2021年11月中旬以來(lái)的最高水平。

Continuing claims, or the number of Americans who are consecutively receiving unemployment aid, rose slightly to 1.428 million for the week ended July 30, up by 8,000 from the previous week's revised level. One year ago, nearly 12.96 million Americans were receiving unemployment benefits.
在截至7月30日的一周內(nèi)，持續(xù)申領(lǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)金的人數(shù)小幅上升至142.8萬(wàn)，較此前一周增加了8000人。2021年，近1296萬(wàn)美國(guó)人申領(lǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)金。

For months, the labor market has been one of the few bright spots in the economy, with the July jobs report showing that the unemployment rate fell to 3.5% – the lowest level since February 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down a broad swath of the US economy.
幾個(gè)月來(lái)，勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)一直是美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)為數(shù)不多的亮點(diǎn)之一，7月份就業(yè)報(bào)告顯示，失業(yè)率降至3.5%，這是自新冠疫情重創(chuàng)美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)以來(lái)的最低水平。

However, there are signs that the labor market is starting to weaken, with a plethora of companies, including Alphabet's Google, Walmart, Apple, Meta and Microsoft, announcing hiring freezes or layoffs in recent weeks.
然而，有跡象表明勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)開(kāi)始疲軟，包括谷歌母公司Alphabet、沃爾瑪、蘋(píng)果、Meta和微軟在內(nèi)的眾多公司都在最近幾周宣布停止招聘或裁員。

"A rising risk to the market outlook is the upward trend in individuals claiming unemployment benefits," said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist for LPL Financial. "Initial claims and continuing claims have inched higher for the last four months and suggest that the labor market will likely slow further throughout the back half of this year."
LPL金融首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家杰弗里·羅奇表示：“市場(chǎng)前景面臨的一個(gè)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)是申請(qǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)的人數(shù)呈上升趨勢(shì)。過(guò)去四個(gè)月來(lái)，首次申請(qǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)金和持續(xù)申請(qǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)的人數(shù)都有所上升，這表明今年下半年勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)可能會(huì)進(jìn)一步放緩?！?/p>

There are growing fears that the US economy is on the cusp of – or already in – a recession as a result of the Federal Reserve's war on inflation. The central bank is raising interest rates at the fastest pace in decades as it races to cool consumer prices, which climbed 8.5% in July – a big decline from June but still near a mutli-decades high.
人們?cè)絹?lái)越擔(dān)心，由于美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)對(duì)抗通脹的斗爭(zhēng)，美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)正處于或已經(jīng)處于衰退的邊緣。美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)采取了幾十年最大幅度的加息動(dòng)作，抑制物價(jià)飆升。7月份消費(fèi)者價(jià)格指數(shù)上漲了8.5%，增速環(huán)比大幅下降，但仍逼近幾十年來(lái)的最高水平。

Policymakers approved another mega-sized, 75-basis point rate hike – triple the usual size – at their meeting in July and have since signaled they are "nowhere near" ending this tightening cycle, despite signs of a slowdown in the economy.
美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)7月批準(zhǔn)了另一次75個(gè)基點(diǎn)的大規(guī)模加息，這是常規(guī)加息幅度的三倍，這表示盡管經(jīng)濟(jì)有放緩跡象，但這輪緊縮周期“遠(yuǎn)未”結(jié)束。
