美國九月份新增10萬個工作 US Economy Gains 103,000 Jobs

The U.S. economy had a net gain of 103,000 jobs in September, but that was not enough to cut the unemployment rate from 9.1 percent.

Friday's report from the Labor Department said the job gains came largely in the private sector, particularly in health care.

The monthly job gains were stronger than most economists had predicted and include 45,000 employees returning to work after a strike at telecommunications giant Verizon in August.

Friday's report from the Labor Department says 14 million Americans are out of work. Four out of 10 of the unemployed have been off the job for six months or more.

美國經濟9月份淨增加10.3萬個工作崗位，但是失業率仍然處在9.1%的高位。

美國勞工部星期五公佈的就業報告說，新增職位大部分來自私營部門。

9月份新增就業數據高於大多數經濟學家的預測。9月份數據包括了電訊業巨頭Verizon的4.5萬個在8月罷工後重返崗位的職工。

星期四，美國總統奧巴馬在一個記者會上敦促國會議員批准他提出的價值4470億美元的就業法案。他說，這項法案將通過重返就業來刺激經濟發展。
