| 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.美国劳工部8月11日公布的数据显示，截至8月6日的一周，首次申请失业救济人数从前一周的24.8万上升至26.2万，高于疫情前21.8万的平均水平，是自2021年11月中旬以来的最高水平。 |
| 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. 几个月来，劳动力市场一直是美国经济为数不多的亮点之一，7月份就业报告显示，失业率降至3.5%，这是自新冠疫情重创美国经济以来的最低水平。 |
| "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金融首席经济学家杰弗里·罗奇表示：“市场前景面临的一个风险是申请失业救济的人数呈上升趋势。过去四个月来，首次申请失业救济金和持续申请失业救济的人数都有所上升，这表明今年下半年劳动力市场可能会进一步放缓。” |
| 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.美联储7月批准了另一次75个基点的大规模加息，这是常规加息幅度的三倍，这表示尽管经济有放缓迹象，但这轮紧缩周期“远未”结束。 |
