Konjunktur: US-Arbeitsmarkt wächst überraschend stark
Im September sind in den USA mehr Jobs als erwartet entstanden. Zudem ist die Arbeitslosenquote zurückgegangen. Das ist ein klares Signal an die US-Notenbank.
The US labor market experienced a surprisingly strong job growth in October, according to a government job report released on Friday. A total of 165,000 jobs were created outside of agriculture, far exceeding the 65,000 jobs previously estimated by Reuters experts. The previous month's figure was revised upwards to 60,000 jobs from the initially reported 29,000 jobs.
The unemployment rate dropped to 4.1% in October, down from the expected 4.2% based on the prior month's data. The US Federal Reserve aims to achieve full employment and stable prices, closely monitoring these job figures. They have kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged since September, after raising it in the previous month.
Market analysts believe the Fed could act in December, potentially due to excessive price gains driven by the Iran war's impact on energy costs. New York Federal Reserve Chair John Williams emphasized during a Bank of England conference in Frankfurt on Friday that inflation is too high and must be brought down to its target of 2.0%. The currency guardian also praised the US labor market for its remarkable stability.
