US jobless claims remain at historically low 209K, sign of labor market strength_我的网站

一 |     WASHINGTON -- The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits was unchanged last week, remaining at historically low levels in another sign that the U.S. job market remains strong in the face of higher interest rates.Unemployment claims stayed at 209,000 for the week ending Oct. 7, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The four-week moving average of claims, which strips out week-to-week volatility, fell by 3,000 to 206,250.The numbers, a proxy for layoffs, continue to show that American workers enjoy extraordinary job security. When the Federal Reserve began raising its benchmark interest rate last year to rein in surging consumer prices, many economists expected the United States to sink into recession.But the economy and the job market have remained sturdy even as higher rates have brought inflation down steadily from the four-decade highs reached in 2022. The combination of easing inflationary pressures and healthy hiring is raising hopes that the Fed can stick a so-called soft landing — beating inflation without triggering an economic downturn.“Overall, layoffs remain low and demand for workers remains strong,'' said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. ”Even as the Fed has taken aggressive action to soften labor market conditions, businesses are not shedding workers at a rapid pace.''Overall, 1.7 million people were collecting unemployment checks the week that ended Sept. 30, up by 30,000 from the week before.。    　　讯 8月12日，外交部发言人郭嘉昆在回答记者提问时表示，中方多次重申，中国与柬埔寨、泰国都是友好邻邦，都开展正常军备合作。中方与柬泰双方的合作都不针对第三方，更与柬泰边境冲突无关。中方就此同柬泰双方都保持着坦诚沟通，柬泰双方对此也都是清楚的。　　有记者提问：关于柬泰边境争端，近来有媒体关注中柬军事装备合作，中方对此有何回应？中方对柬泰边境争端有何立场？　　郭嘉昆表示，柬泰两国是搬不走的邻居，尽快妥善处理边境争端符合柬泰两国人民共同和长远利益。作为柬泰双方的好朋友，中方始终以自己的方式积极劝和促谈，推动两国尽快实现停火、恢复双边接触。
