美国失业根据劳工统计局的数据，7月份的失业率降至10.2%，略低于6月份的11.1%。

尽管这些数字好于预期，但它们显示就业增长缓慢，仍比大流行关闭大部分经济之前少了1290万个就业岗位。
穆迪分析公司(Moody's Analytics)在一份声明中表示，就业报告“为美国经济增添了一幅喜忧参半的画面，就业增长速度缓慢，但美国部分地区的感染率上升，以及政府持续支持水平的不确定性，正在给前景蒙上阴影。”
消费可能会保持低迷，甚至缩减，因为每周600美元失业奖金结束据穆迪称，约有3000万美国人依赖于此。
唐纳德·特朗普总统更乐观，他在推特上写道:“伟大的就业数字!”

US adds 1.8 million jobs in July amid coronavirus pandemic
The U.S.unemploymentrate dropped to 10.2% in July, slightly below June's 11.1% mark, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
There were 1.8 million jobs added in the month as the country continues to grapple with the effects of thecoronavirus.
While the numbers are better than expected, they show a slow climb for job gains and there are still 12.9 million fewer jobs than before the pandemic shuttered much of the economy.
Moody's Analytics said in a statement that the jobs report "adds to a mixed picture for the U.S. economy, where jobs are being added at a slow pace but rising infection rates in some parts of the country and uncertainty around the level of continued government support are clouding the outlook."
Consumption likely will remain subdued, and perhaps even curtailed, with theend of the weekly $600 unemployment bonusthat some 30 million Americans were relying on, according to Moody's.
President Donald Trump was more optimistic, writing in a tweet, "Great Jobs Numbers!"
Future coronavirus relief is beingdiscussedin the Capitol, however administration officials and Democratic congressional leaders remain far apart on key issues.
But even if new benefits are added, until infection rates show "meaningful and steady declines, health concerns will weigh on consumer confidence," according to Moody's.
Jobs added in July were in leisure and hospitality, government, retail trade, professional and business services, other services and health care.
Leisure and hospitality saw the largest gains among sectors that added jobs, with employment increasing by 592,000.
The food and drink industry also increased, by slightly less with 502,000. However, despite gains over the last three months, overall employment in that sector is down by 2.6 million since February.
The service industry has been particularly hard hit during the pandemic, with Americans mostly being told to stay inside and many restaurants, bars and cafes shuttering in March.
Black people faced the highest rates of unemployment in July, at 14.6%, with Hispanic people behind that at 12.9%, government data shows. Asian people had an unemployment rate of 12%, while white people had the lowest number at 9.2%.
By age, teenagers had the highest rates, 19.3%, adult women recorded an unemployment rate of 10.5% and adult men saw a rate of 9.4%.
The unemployment rate peaked at 14.7% in April, not too long after a historic low of 3.5% was reported in February.
The monthly jobs report comes a day after weekly jobless claims topped 1 million for the 20th week in a row.
