[Strange Signals Emerge from the US Job Market: Initial Jobless Claims Slightly Increase, But Will Reemployment Be More Difficult for Laid-Off Workers?] ⑴ The number of initial applications for unemployment benefits in the United States rose slightly last week, indicating a stable labor market. ⑵ However, this also suggests that laid-off workers are taking longer to find new jobs. ⑶ Initial jobless claims rose by 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 218,000 in the week ending July 26, below economists' expectations of 224,000. ⑷ The slowdown in the labor market is partly due to uncertainty caused by Trump's tariff rhetoric, which has made businesses cautious about increasing hiring. ⑸ At the same time, the White House's tightening immigration policies have also reduced the labor supply. ⑹ Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that the labor market is balanced, but also pointed out that due to declining supply and demand, there are downside risks to the labor market. ⑺ Government data showed that the number of job openings per unemployed person fell to 1.06 in June, far below the 1.33 in January. ⑻ As of the week ending July 19, the number of people continuing to claim unemployment benefits remained unchanged at 1.946 million. ⑼ Although the number of initial unemployment claims was lower than expected, the signal of difficulty in finding re-employment and the upcoming non-farm payroll data will remain the focus of market attention.
