〔編譯魏國金/台北報導〕美國勞工部4日公佈,8月新增16.2萬非農就業人口,遠高於7月修正後的新增2.1萬人,以及分析師預期的5.3萬人,為3月以來新增就業最高月份,失業率維持在4.1%,符合預期。

聯準會(Fed)一再表示勞動市場穩定,該報告符合此看法,並可能使聯準會的關注轉向下週五公佈的通膨數據,8月消費者物價指數(CPI)將是聯準會9月15、16日政策會議前,最後一個重要數據。聯準會理事華勒3日表示,「基於經濟活動與勞動市場狀況良好,它們並非我決定貨幣政策的重要因素」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

對於勞動市場狀況,決策者通常更聚焦於失業率,8月失業率實際上較去年同期下降0.5個百分點。另一項包含找不到合適工作而停止求職的怯志勞工(discouraged worker)以及因經濟因素而從事兼差者的失業指標則降至7.7%,創去年7月以來最低水準。

除了8月新增就業穩健外,前幾月的就業人數也上修,7月新增2.1萬就業人口,從先前報告的流失2.3萬人轉為正值,而6月從1.1萬人上調為3.1萬人。有別於前幾月,8月就業成長的行業相當廣泛。

8月平均時薪年增3.1%,顯示薪資增幅持續跟不上通膨。7月CPI年增3.4%。高汽油價格持續對消費者預算造成壓力,8月全美普通汽油價格平均每加侖4.07美元,相較之下,7月為3.95美元。

It is difficult for middle-aged unemployed people to return to the workplace. Experts recommend three steps to reduce anxiety.

Data shows that unemployed people over the age of 50 are twice as likely as young people to remain unemployed for more than one year. Experts point out that age bias is the main reason. They recommend reducing anxiety, taking stock of strengths, and formulating career directions through the three steps of pausing, reflecting, and planning. They emphasize that middle age is still highly malleable, and the last 15 years of a career can be the most satisfying stage.
