7月就業增長超預期美國市場恐慌得緩解

The U.S. unemployment rate improved in July, with businesses creating more jobs than most economists had predicted.

Friday's closely watched report from the Labor Department says the U.S. jobless rate declined one-tenth of a percent to 9.1 percent.

The U.S. economy had a net gain of 117,000 jobs, which is better than the previous month.

The report is a slight improvement in the battered U.S. job market, and is likely to be welcomed by investors after a drastic stock sell-off around the world on Thursday.

Worries about job security have been hurting the U.S. economy by making consumers less likely to do the spending that drives most U.S. economic activity.美國7月份失業率有所下降，美國企業創造的工作崗位數量超過大多數經濟學家所預測的。

星期五，美國勞工部公佈的備受關注的就業報告顯示，美國失業率下降0.1%，達到9.1%。美國經濟淨增11萬7000個工作崗位，大大高於6月份。報告顯示，美國困難重重的就業市場略有起色，對投資者來說可能是個利好消息。

這個消息公佈之後市場氣氛顯然發生了變化。期貨交易開始活躍。預計，美國股市的跌勢將會發生逆轉。星期四，世界各地股市發生恐慌拋售重要股指都出現了巨幅下滑。

對就業保障的擔憂給美國經濟構成負面影響，因爲消費者不願消費，而消費是美國經濟活動的主要推動力。
