Applications for US jobless benefits fall to lowest level in more than 8 months_我的网站

A |     Applications for U.S. unemployment benefits fell to their lowest level in eight months last week as businesses continue to retain workers despite elevated interest rates meant to cool the economy and labor market.Jobless claim applications fell by 13,000 to 198,000 for the week ending Oct. 14, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That's the fewest since January and about 14,000 fewer than analysts expected.Jobless claim applications are considered a proxy for layoffs.Despite the low level of weekly first-time jobless benefit applications, the number of Americans remaining on the unemployment rolls — known as “continuing claims” — jumped to its highest level in three months.Overall, 1.73 million people were collecting unemployment benefits the week that ended Oct. 7, about 29,000 more than the previous week and the most since early July.Analysts suggested one reason why new applications for unemployment aid might be falling while the number of people who continue to receive benefits is rising: Though relatively few people are being laid off, those who are already unemployed may now be having a harder time finding new work.“That would be consistent with other recent anecdotal evidence, including the Beige Book yesterday, which noted that firms were hiring ‘less urgently’ and finding that the pool of available job candidates was expanding,” said Nancy Vanden Houten, an economist at Oxford Economics. That comports with recent data showing that more people have started looking for work again. In August, about 736,000 people re-entered the search for employment, boosting the unemployment rate from 3.5% to 3.8%, where it remains today. Only people who are actively looking for a job are counted as unemployed.Though the Federal Reserve opted to leave its benchmark borrowing rate alone at its most recent meeting, it is well into the second year of its battle to rein in persistent inflation. The central bank has raised its benchmark rate 11 times since March of 2022, with part of its goal to cool hiring and bring down wages. But the labor market has held up better than expected.In September, employers added 336,000 jobs, easily surpassing the 227,000 for August and raising the average gain for each of the past three months to a robust 266,000.In August, American employers posted a surprising 9.6 million job openings, up from 8.9 million in July and the first uptick in three months.Besides some layoffs early this year — mostly in the technology sector — companies have been trying to retain workers.Thursday's report also said that the four-week moving average of claims — which flattens out some of the week-to-week volatility — ticked down by 1,000 to 205,750.。    엔비디아의 AI 칩 시스템 '베라 루빈 NVL72' 탑재美 루이지애나주에 1000억달러 들여 우주기지 구축                   우주 기업 스페이스X와 전기차 회사 테슬라를 이끄는 일론 머스크의 X(옛 트위터) 캡쳐. 사진=일론 머스크의 X 계정 캡쳐일론 머스크 스페이스X 최고경영자(CEO)가 엔비디아의 인공지능(AI) 칩 시스템을 탑재한 위성을 내년 4분기에 첫 발사할 예정이라고 25일(현지시간) 밝혔다. 머스크는 이 날 X(옛 트위터) 계정에 “스페이스X는 엔비디아와 함께 우주에 최적화된 ‘베라 루빈 NVL72’를 설계했다”고 전했다. 또 “2028년엔 발사 규모가 상당히 커질 것”이라고 덧붙였다. 엔비디아도 자사의 X 계정을 통해 “‘스타마인드 AI 위성’ 1세대에 걸맞은 베라 루빈 NVL72 시스템이 적용될 계획”이라고 발표했다. 스페이스X는 이 날 미국 루이지애나주 남부 피칸아일랜드 습지에 1000억달러를 들여 차세대 우주발사 기지 ‘스타베이스 루이지애나’를 조성할 예정이라고도 발표했다. 이 기지에 ‘스타십’ 발사대 10기와 심해 운송시설, 우주선 처리시설 등을 세운다. 내년부터 공사 시작 후 2029년 완공을 목표로 한다. 머스크는 X 계정에 “하루 30회 이상의 스타십 비행이 가능한 거대 기지가 될 것”이라고 밝혔다. 이 소식에 스페이스X 주가는 이 날 나스닥 정규장에서 2.19% 오른 137.95달러에 마감했다. 시장에선 AI 위성 발사와 스타베이스 루이지애나 구축이 우주기업으로서 스페이스X의 새로운 발판이 될지 여부에 주목하고 있다고 블룸버그통신은 전했다.。
