What is the current situation of job market in the US? [br]
(7)US job growth grinds to a halt in August as government layoffs erased meager gains in the private sector.(8-1)The Labor Department says American businesses added only 17,000 jobs last month, far short of the 100, 000 jobs analysts were expecting. To make matters worse, cuts in state and federal employment offset those gains. The net result—zero jobs added in August.
The outlook for unemployed Americans remains dim following the weakest employment report in nearly one year.(8 - 2)Analysts say a two-week strike by a major wireless phone company may have distorted the numbers. But even with the national unemployment rate holding steady at 9. 1 percent, James Bianco at Bianco Research said there is little good news in the latest government report.
" Even if you account for the Verizon strike, which was 48,000 workers, and sort of added that back in, it’s still not a good number.(8 - 3)It paints an economy that is decelerating and it paints a job market that continues to slow dramatically over the summer," said Bianco.
选项
A、More civil servants were laid off by US government.
B、American businesses added 100, 000 jobs last month.
C、The strike of a phone company worsened the situation.
D、The overall economy was running low.
答案
B
解析
本题考查重要细节。根据句(8—1)可知,美国劳工部称上个月商业部门仅增1.7万个工作岗位,远低于分析人员预计的10万个岗位,故[B]符合题意;更糟的是,联邦和州政府职员的削减抵消了商业部门的新增就业岗位,导致最终结果:整体看来,八月份的工作岗位为零增长,故排除[A];根据句(8—2)可知,分析人员称,无线电话公司职员两周的罢工可能使得这个数字有些偏差,但是詹姆斯认为,即使国内失业率保持在9.1%不变,政府报告也不会有更好的表现,故排除[C];根据句(8—3)可知,高失业率表明经济在减速,故排除[D]。
