Solicitudes de ayuda por desempleo en EEUU suben levemente – Chicago Tribune
By MATT OTT
WASHINGTON (AP) — A number of state mayors have requested services over the past week to keep government spending at relatively healthy levels.
The number of states submitting requests for aid in the week ending February 21 increased by 4,000 to 212,000 in the previous week, the Department of Youth Work reported. This coincides with the predictions of analysts surveyed by data company FactSet.
Requests for benefits, for example, are taken into consideration by representatives of the despidos and relate to a real-time indicator of the health of the labor market.
The Department of Labor advised in principle that employers would add 130,000 jobs in income and that the workload was 4.3% by 4.4%. Without an embargo, the government’s revisions recorded the names of 2024-2025 in hundred thousand, reducing the number of jobs created last year to just 181,000. This equates to about a third of the 584,000 people reported previously and is the lowest data since the year of the pandemic, 2020.
Even though recent weeks have been kept at a historically low level, between 200,000 and 250,000 in recent years, several high-profile companies have recently announced employment reports, among others UPS, Amazon, Dow and The Washington Post in recent years. weeks.
The Department of Labor also recently informed that job vacancies in December would be at their lowest level in more than five years.
Today, the labor market appears to be in place because economists call a state of “neither contract nor disappointment”, which has kept the burden of disemployment at historic lows, but they have already struggled to work with difficulties in finding new employment.
The data of the last year revealed, for general purposes, a labor market in which the contract was clearly disabled, lasted by the uncertain shadow avoided by the aranceles of President Donald Trump and by the persistent effects of the high charges of interest that the Federal Reserve impelled in 2022 and 2023 to contain a remedy to the inflation caused by the pandemic.
Economists are divided on whether job earnings are income or perhaps the first signal of a recovering job market, which could lead the Federal Reserve to repay more new filings from their pile of key interests.
The government will publish employer information next week.
Some Federal Reserve officials have specifically argued that last year’s contract shortfall should make debt costs burdensome for growth and delinquency of expanding businesses. A sustained response in the contract could weaken this theory.
Information from the Department of Youth Work showed that the four-week mobile project of grant applications for employees, which suffered part of the semester-to-week volatility, suffered in 750, up to 220,250.
The total number of states that received benefits for example in the previous week, which ended February 14, fell to 31,000, down to 1.83 million, the government informed.
