ADP: Employers Add Fewer Jobs Than Expected as Hospitality Sector Slows_我的网站
A |
Employers added 177,00 jobs in August as the leisure and hospitality sector pulled back sharply from its recent hiring surge, private payroll firm ADP reported on Wednesday.
The number was below estimates of 195,000 and down from the 324,000 reported in July.
"This month's numbers are consistent with the pace of job creation before the pandemic," said Nela Richardson, chief economist, ADP. "After two years of exceptional gains tied to the recovery, we're moving toward more sustainable growth in pay and employment as the economic effects of the pandemic recede."
The hospitality industry cooled significantly, adding only 30,000 jobs. Education and health services, laggards during the pandemic, added 52,000 while employment in trade, transportation and utilities increased by 45,000.
Wages, meanwhile, rose at an annual rate of 5.9%, the slowest pace since September of 2021.
On Tuesday, in another sign of the labor market cooling, the number of job openings fell to 8.8 million as of the end of July. The number is the lowest since early 2021.
“The labor market is cooling and is taking pressure off policy makers concerned with a second wave of inflation,” said Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial. “Businesses should get some respite as inflation decelerates and the risk of quiet quitting dissipates.”
Meanwhile, the second estimate of gross domestic product came in slightly down to 2.1% on Wednesday from the prior 2.4% annual number based on a decline in exports. That is above the 2% rate seen in the first quarter but well below current estimates of economic growth in the third quarter that are now running at 5.9%.
That is a number that will likely come down as the weeks go by and more fresh data comes in, but it is one that will likely cause some concern at the Federal Reserve as it looks for an economic slowdown to help bring inflation down to the central bank’s 2% annual target.
The Fed meets in late September to consider interest rate policy with most analysts expecting no change, although there is an expectation the Fed could lift rates again in November if the economic data remains too strong.
One key data point will be the jobs report for August, due out on Friday with expectations of a gain of 169,000 jobs in the month.
“It looks like the economy is accelerating,” says Steve Wyett, chief investment strategist at BOK Financial. “Second quarter earnings were down, but not by as much as expected.”
Still, Wyett says the record levels of consumer indebtedness could eventually lead to a pullback.
“I’m a little worried about the consumer,” he says.
。 昨日晚，苹果发布了新一代的Apple TV 4K机顶盒，它搭载A15处理器，最大128GB存储空间，运行tvOS系统，性能强大。
但很少有人注意到的是，苹果在新Apple TV推出的同时，悄然停止了另一款Apple TV的销售。这款被苹果停售的Apple TV，就是2015版Apple TV HD，这款发售已经7年之久的Apple TV搭载A8芯片，是系列首款运行tvOS的机型，也是第一款将App Store引入Apple TV的机型。同时，在这款机型上，苹果还第一次为Apple TV带来了配备触控板和运动传感器的Siri遥控器，这一设计也延续到了最新的Apple TV 4K身上。在停售前，2015版Apple TV HD的官方售卖价格依旧是149美元（约合人民币1073元）起，而最新的Apple TV 4K起售价则降到了129美元（约合人民币929元），这或许也是老版本Apple TV被下架的原因。当然，已经购买老版本Apple TV的用户也不需要单行，苹果将继续为它们提供更新维护。
