미국 사회, 여전히 어려운 취업현실
I’m Trish Regan. The job outlook 전망 is good, but not for everyone. We’ll tell you which industries are growing and which are not. This is the CBS Evening News with Russ Mitchell.
More jobs and lower unemployment 실직, 실업률. The Labor Department 노동부 reports US employers added 128,000 workers to their payrolls 종업원 명부, 급료 지불 명부 in August, pushing the jobless rate down a tenth of a percent to 4.7%. That encouraged investors. The Dow and the NASDAQ were both up sharply 급격하게, 뚜렷이 today, closing at their highest levels in 3 months. Trish Regan has more.
It was the best of both worlds for Wall Street. Job growth in August proved strong enough to fuel ~에 활기를 불어넣다 the economy, but not strong enough to trigger 유발하다 worries about inflation. It’s good, but not too good. “That’s right. The economy appears to be growing. We’re creating jobs, nearly 130,000 jobs in the month. And the unemployment rate has fallen back 줄어들다. But, yet, there’re some questions about the future. Some weak sectors.”
Sectors like manufacturing which continues to bleed 출혈하다 jobs. 11,000 were lost in August. But amid these declines, the services industry was once again an economic bright spot. 118,000 jobs were added led by the hiring of teachers for the new school year.
When you talk about the service sector, what exactly does that mean? “There’re a whole host of businesses. The person who cuts your hair. People who work in the transportation industry. The people who take your tickets at the ticket counter. Basically, these are jobs that are hard to provide from overseas. I think that I could get my daughter the best education possible, I could send her to Harvard, but she might have more job security 고용 보장, 확보 as a plumber 배관공.”
There are some negatives on the horizon 분명해지고 있는. Today, General Motors said that it plans to slash 대폭적으로 삭감하다 production at its North American facilities by 12%. And there are reports that Intel, the world’s largest semiconductor 반도체 company, may cut up to 20,000 jobs. Trish Regan, CBS News,
