According to foreign media reports, the U.S. Department of Labor said on August 30 local time that the vacancy of job vacancies in the United States rose to 11.2 million in July, close to historical highs, which means that the continuous turbulence of the labor market makes it difficult for employers to fill vacant positions.

Data show that the number of vacancy in U.S. positions has exceeded 10 million for 12 consecutive months, while the highest record was only 7.7 million before the epidemic began in 2020.

The Fed pays close attention to these data and try to measure the tension of the employment market. It is said that the skyrocketing number of positions may promote the decision makers to raise interest rates 75 basis points again at the next month. In response, Jeffrey Roach, chief economist of LPL Financial, said: "At present, about each labor can correspond to two jobs. Therefore, for the current, the Fed has more reasons to fight inflation to maintain inflation and keep it maintaining inflation. Tough attitude. "

At the same time, the number of resignations in the United States fell to 4.18 million, accounting for about 2.7%of the total labor force, which was lower than the 4.5 million records in the first half of this year, but much higher than the level of about 3.6 million before the epidemic. The resignation group in April was mainly concentrated in the accommodation industry and the food service industry, health care and social assistance industries, as well as transportation, housing and public utilities. In addition, the number of recruiters in the United States has also declined to 6.38 million.

It is reported that these data proves that companies are continuing to fight for labor shortages. Workers' resignation for higher wages and better work conditions has also become a new trend. However, this "resignation style" has pushed the inflation rate. Employers need to use salary increase to attract employees, and Americans' income is rising. Data from the Egent Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta show that in the past year, changing jobs is an accident for many employees. The average annual growth rate of employees has reached 6.7%. Only 4.9%.

Fed Chairman Powell gave a speech at the annual seminar at the Kansas Federal Reserve Bank last week that the Fed will still focus on fighting inflation, but this may mean a higher unemployment rate. He said: "Although interest rates, slower economic growth, and weak employment market will lower inflation, it will also cause some trouble to families and enterprises. This is the unfortunate price of reducing inflation. pain of."
