10月美国职位空缺增加 裁员减少 劳动力市场逐步放缓

根据美国劳工统计局周二发布的最新《职位空缺与劳动力流动调查》(JOLTS)报告,10月美国劳动力市场显示出稳定放缓的迹象,职位空缺适度增加,裁员减少。

10月底,美国职位空缺数量这一衡量劳动力需求的重要指标增加了37.2万,达到774.4万。然而,9月的职位空缺数据被下调至737.2万,低于最初报告的744.3万。路透社调查的经济学家此前预测职位空缺为747.5万。

劳动力市场动态

尽管职位空缺增加,但招聘人数减少了26.9万,降至531.3万;裁员人数下降了16.9万,降至163.3万。这些数据表明,劳动力市场正在逐步降温,而非出现急剧萎缩。

飓风和罢工也影响了10月的劳动力市场数据。受风暴影响地区的重建工作以及波音公司及另一家航空航天公司罢工的解决,预计将推动11月的就业增长回升。

11月就业报告乐观预测

路透社调查的经济学家预测,11月非农就业人数将增长20万,高于10月仅增加1.2万的微弱增幅,后者是自2020年12月以来的最低水平。失业率预计将从10月的4.1%小幅上升至4.2%。

对美联储政策的影响

即将于周五发布的11月就业报告将在美联储政策制定中起关键作用。由于通胀仍高于美联储2%的目标,该数据可能会影响美联储本月是否连续第三次降息的决定。

随着劳动力市场应对经济不确定性和外部冲击,政策制定者和分析人士将密切关注未来几个月市场是否表现出韧性或进一步疲软的迹象。

特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席,或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道,美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 (Paul Atkins)接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会(SEC)主席 加里·根斯勒 (Gary Gensler)。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名,这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 : 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规,力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 : 离开SEC后,阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ,一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新,同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 : 马克·乌耶达 (Mark Uyeda):现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 (Heath Tarbert):前商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 (Robert Stebbins):Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议,被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致,即在保障市场完整性的同时,通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么? SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任,这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式,为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。
