每周首次申请失业救济人数上升,持续申请失业救济人数降至2024年5月以来的最低水平

By

-- 美国政府周四公布的数据显示,每周首次申请失业救济人数增幅超出预期,而持续申领失业救济人数则降至2024年5月以来的最低水平。 美国劳工部表示,截至4月4日当周,经季节性调整后的首次申请失业救济人数较前一周平均水平增加1.6万人,达到21.9万人(前一周平均水平向上修正了1000人)。彭博社此前的民调显示,市场普遍预期该数据为21万人。 四周移动平均值为20.95万人,较前一周平均水平增加1500人(前一周平均水平向上修正了250人)。劳工部称,未经调整的首次申请失业救济人数增加16637人,达到20.2895万人。 牛津经济研究院首席美国经济学家南希·范登豪顿在发给的电子邮件中表示:“最新的失业救济申请数据显示,没有证据表明(美以)与伊朗的战争对劳动力市场产生了显著影响。我们认为,一周内出现意外上升并不意味着劳动力市场状况正在走软。” 经季节性调整后,截至3月28日当周的持续申领失业救济人数为179万,为2024年5月11日以来的最低水平,低于华尔街预期的183万。据美国劳工部的数据,持续申领失业救济人数较前一周减少了3.8万人,前一周的数据向下修正了9000人。四周移动平均值下降了1.325万人,至约182万。 范登豪顿表示:“持续申领失业救济人数呈下降趋势,反映了自去年秋季以来首次申领失业救济人数的总体下降趋势。” 本月初公布的官方数据显示,美国3月份新增就业岗位超出预期,失业率环比小幅下降至4.3%,低于上一季度的4.4%。 周三公布的美联储3月份会议纪要显示,鉴于伊朗战争(始于2月底)加剧了通胀和就业风险,货币政策制定者强调需要“灵活”调整利率。 周二,美国和伊朗达成为期两周的停火协议,但该协议似乎并不稳固。
