B | WASHINGTON -- The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits was unchanged last week, remaining at historically low levels in another sign that the U.S. job market remains strong in the face of higher interest rates.Unemployment claims stayed at 209,000 for the week ending Oct. 7, the Labor Department reported Thursday. The four-week moving average of claims, which strips out week-to-week volatility, fell by 3,000 to 206,250.The numbers, a proxy for layoffs, continue to show that American workers enjoy extraordinary job security. When the Federal Reserve began raising its benchmark interest rate last year to rein in surging consumer prices, many economists expected the United States to sink into recession.But the economy and the job market have remained sturdy even as higher rates have brought inflation down steadily from the four-decade highs reached in 2022. The combination of easing inflationary pressures and healthy hiring is raising hopes that the Fed can stick a so-called soft landing — beating inflation without triggering an economic downturn.“Overall, layoffs remain low and demand for workers remains strong,'' said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. ”Even as the Fed has taken aggressive action to soften labor market conditions, businesses are not shedding workers at a rapid pace.''Overall, 1.7 million people were collecting unemployment checks the week that ended Sept. 30, up by 30,000 from the week before.。

C | 最大的损失方是美国内的经销商和小企业;之前很多公司将中国的光伏产品进口到美国,组装成为成品在美国国内出售,折合起来利润也不大。这次拜登政府横插一脚阻断了美国企业的利益,势必让他们丢失选票。就像去年告诉英特尔公司“以国家利益为主”一样,今年白宫官员的说法又是老一套:小企业能否从中国赚钱区别不大,关键的是美国不能发生结构性问题,所以其他企业都要让路。

E | 布雷纳德在智库“美国进步中心”表示,美国应该吸取教训,不可能有第二次来自中国的冲击。要知道一个问题是:中国太大了,他们管不住自己按照规则来办事情,为了防止某些事情的发生,美国需要先人一步做出选择,这并非是故意的。

G | 2023年美国会议员还表示他们当年统一WTO接纳了中国,对中方开放贸易,结果就是数十年后中国的制造业成为美国的“心腹大患”,中国的贸易冲击使美国制造业就业人数减少,很多行业甚至已经过不下去了。所以美方颇为后悔当年给中国一个“机会”,这种论调完全是给美国当前的困境开脱——经济不行就责怪是因为中国作梗,完全的有罪推理。
