就業市場仍然強勁

根據勞工部今天公佈之數字顯示， 上個月六月份美國経濟增加了三十七萬二千個就業機會， 超出了華爾街之預期。

目前全國失業率仍然在百分之三點六 ，比華爾街預期增加二十五萬之數字多出許多， 增加最多的是商業休閒及健康產業。

專家們認為勞工市場仍然旺盛， 雖然大家擔心経濟衰退，但就業市塲還是非常强勁。

六月份亞裔失業率是百分之三 ，黑人是百分之五點八 ，西裔百分之四點三， 而白人失業率是百分之三點三， 事實上 ，就業情況是十分良好。

就失業率數字看來， 経濟衰退似乎還未到，但是中央儲備銀行對於通貨膨脹十分擔憂， 繼續加息之手段可以不會停止以抑制通貨膨脹。

不過 ，通貨膨脹已經是世界性之大問題， 尤其是在貧窮國家更是嚴重， 諸如錫蘭卡之群眾包圍了總統府， 民不聊生是人民推翻政府之動力。

The U.S. Economy Is Still Creating Jobs

According to the Labor Department, the U.S. economy created 372,000 jobs in June, beating Wall Street predictions, despite slowing growth.

The national unemployment rate held at 3.6%. The strong areas are in professional and business leisure and hospitality and the health care sectors.

The economy had created 384,000 jobs in May and 368,000 in April.

Economists believe the labor market is still running strong. In the whole report, the unemployment rate for Asians increased to 3% in June, for whites to 3.3% and for blacks to 5.8%.

The average hourly rate rose by 10 cents to $32.08.

Judging from the unemployment rate figures, the economic recession seems to have not yet arrived, but the Federal Reserve Bank is very worried about inflation. They want to continue to raise the interest rate to curb inflation,

However, inflation is a global problem, especially in poor countries. Sri Lankans recently  stormed the presidential residence after months of protests over the country’s high prices.

It is very sad and the situation is getting unmanageable in many parts of the world. The leaders of all countries need to rethink the situation and consider all the people that are really suffering.
