美国经济9月份净增加10.3万个工作岗位,但是失业率仍然处在9.1%的高位。
美国劳工部星期五公布的就业报告说,新增职位大部分来自私营部门。
9月份新增就业数据高于大多数经济学家的预测。9月份数据包括了电讯业巨头Verizon的4.5万个在8月罢工后重返岗位的职工。
星期四,美国总统奥巴马在一个记者会上敦促国会议员批准他提出的价值4470亿美元的就业法案。他说,这项法案将通过重返就业来刺激经济发展。
The U.S. economy had a net gain of 103,000 jobs in September, but that was not enough to cut the unemployment rate from 9.1 percent.
Friday’s report from the Labor Department said the job gains came largely in the private sector, particularly in health care.
The monthly job gains were stronger than most economists had predicted and include 45,000 employees returning to work after a strike at telecommunications giant Verizon in August.
Friday’s report from the Labor Department says 14 million Americans are out of work. Four out of 10 of the unemployed have been off the job for six months or more.
