预计美国劳工部报告不会显示就业市场趋好

The unemployment rate in the United States is expected to remain stalled at 8.2 percent when the Labor Department releases its jobs report for June on Friday.

But economists believe the government report may show employers added anywhere between 90,000 and 100,000 jobs last month, better than the 69,000 jobs added in May. 

Recent reports have presented a mixed picture for the US economy.  The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, issued two separate reports this week showing manufacturing activity shrank in June, the first such decline in nearly three years, while non-manufacturing activity slightly declined in the previous month.

But the Labor Department reported Thursday that applications for first-time jobless benefits dropped by 14,000 in week ending June 30, while the payroll-processing firm ADP said that businesses added 176,000 new jobs last month. 

The ongoing European sovereign debt crisis, as well as a political stalemate in Washington, has stalled the U.S. recovery from the global recession.

但经济学家们相信，美国劳工部的报告可能显示雇主上个月增加的就业人数在九万到十万人之间，比5月份增加的六万九千人就业人数要多。

近来的报告展示出美国经济的一个发展程度不同的状态。美国供应管理协会本星期发表的两份报告显示，制造业的生产规模在6月份所有缩减，这是将近三年来首次出现这种情况，同时非制造业的经济活动在5月份小幅减少。

但是，美国劳工部星期四发布的报告显示，在截至6月30号的这个星期里，申请首次失业补助的人数减少了一万四千。同时，美国自动数据处理公司说，6月份就业人数增加17万六千。

由于欧盟目前的主权债务危机和华盛顿的政治僵持状态，美国经济复苏受到阻碍。
