最让人震惊的，莫过于政府对过去一年就业数据的那次"大缩水"。一次性下调了91.1万个非农就业岗 位，这可是自2000年以来最大规模的修正。 这意味着什么，说白了，就是过去一年经济的真实增长，远没有我们想象的那么好，平均每个月的新增 岗位比原来报的数要少将近7.6万个。这种增长放缓的趋势，甚至在特朗普政府搞关税之前就已经开始 了。 8月份的就业岗位只增加了区区2.2万个。而早在6月份，裁员的人数就已经超过了新招的人数，这是 2020年以来的头一回，净岗位直接减少了1.3万。 劳动力市场的供需天平也开始倾斜了。最新的调查显示，找工作的人数，四年来第一次超过了空缺的职 位数。这种普遍的需求降温，在休闲酒店业、专业服务业、零售业和制造业这些行业里尤其明显。制造 业的就业指数已经跌到了五年来的最低点。 要说现在美国经济靠什么撑着，那自然是消费。大家还在买买买，这股力量确实是目前经济最重要的支 柱。毕竟，大多数人手里还有份工作，还能继续花钱。 但问题是，这种"繁荣"的根基，好像不太稳，总债务额已经冲到了历史最高点。更吓人的是，那些超过 90天没还款的严重拖欠比例，也爬到了十多年来的最高位。 普华永道的调查发现，通货膨胀和 ...
