华盛顿，2月19日（路透社） – 上周美国首次申请失业救济的人数降幅超出预期，这与劳动力市场趋于稳定的态势一致。
美国劳工部周四表示，截至2月14日的一周，各州失业救济首次申请人数经季节性调整后减少23,000人，降至206,000人。路透社调查的经济学家此前预测本周初请人数为225,000人。自1月底初请人数骤升至232,000人以来，上周的降幅标志着申请人数显著下降。

周三公布的美联储1月27-28日政策会议纪要显示，”绝大多数与会者认为劳动力市场状况已出现一些企稳迹象”。不过，对劳动力市场下行风险的担忧仍然存在。
纪要还指出，部分政策制定者”指出，在招聘环境低迷的情况下，劳动力需求进一步下降可能导致失业率大幅上升，或者少数周期性敏感度较低的行业集中出现就业增长，可能预示整体劳动力市场的脆弱性加剧。”

本次初请失业金数据覆盖了政府调查雇主以获取2月就业报告中非农业就业部分的一周。1月就业增长有所加速，尽管几乎所有就业增长都来自医疗保健和社会援助行业。
政策制定者和经济学家表示，移民政策限制了就业增长。进口关税带来的持续不确定性仍是招聘的拖累因素，而人工智能也增加了另一层谨慎情绪，经济学家称。
截至2月7日的一周，首次申请失业救济后继续领取失业救济的人数（作为招聘情况的指标）增加17,000人，经季节性调整后升至1,869万人。
所谓的”持续申请”表明，被裁员工在寻找新工作时面临困难。
失业中位数持续时间接近四年高位。招聘不足对近期大学毕业生产生了重大影响，他们因缺乏或有限的工作经历，既无法申请失业救济，也未被纳入申请数据统计。

WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) – The number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week, consistent with a stabilizing labor market.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 206,0000 for the week ended February 14, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 225,000 claims for the latest week. Last week’s drop marked a signficant decline in claims since they jumped to 232,000 at the end of January.

Minutes of the Federal Reserve’s January 27-28 policy meeting published on Wednesday showed the “vast majority of participants judged that labor market conditions had been showing some signs of stabilization.” Still, concerns over downside risks to the labor market remained.
The minutes also noted some policymakers “pointed to the possibility that a further fall in labor demand could push the unemployment rate sharply higher in a low-hiring environment or that the concentration of job gains in a few less cyclically sensitive sectors was potentially signaling heightened vulnerability in the overall labor market.”

The claims data covered the week during which the government surveyed employers for the nonfarm payrolls portion of February’s employment report. Job growth accelerated in January, though nearly all the employment gains came from the healthcare and social assistance sector.
Policymakers and economists say immigration policies were constraining job growth. Lingering uncertainty from import tariffs remained a drag on hiring while artificial intelligence was also adding another layer of caution, economists said.
The number of people receiving unemployment benefits after an initial week of aid, a proxy for hiring, increased 17,000 to a seasonally 1.869 million during the week ended February 7, the claims report showed.
The so-called continuing claims suggested that laid-off workers were experiencing difficulties finding new positions.
The median duration of unemployment is near four-year highs. The lack of hiring has significantly impacted recent college graduates, who because of no or limited work history, cannot file for unemployment benefits and are not captured in the claims data.
