Kyle Risdal: 我认为6月份的就业报告确实让很多人感到惊讶，新增了14.7万个工作岗位，失业率也降至4.1%。这确实是一个非常积极的信号，表明经济可能比我们想象的更有韧性。然而，我也意识到，仅仅关注这些表面数字是不够的，我们需要深入挖掘数据，才能更全面地了解劳动力市场的真实情况。 Heather Long: 作为一名经济学家，我看到这些数字的第一反应也是非常积极的。新增就业岗位远超预期，失业率下降，甚至对之前几个月的数字进行了向上修正。但是，当我开始深入研究这些数据时，我发现了一些令人不安的细节。首先，大部分新增就业都集中在政府和医疗保健领域。如果你不在这些领域找工作，选择就非常有限。其次，劳动力参与率降至2022年12月以来的最低水平。这些因素都让我对整体经济的健康状况感到担忧。此外，关税的影响也始终是一个悬而未决的问题，虽然我们还没有看到它对就业市场的直接影响，但它仍然是一个潜在的风险。

The June jobs report showed 147,000 new jobs and a decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.1%. However, a closer look reveals that most of the jobs were in government and healthcare, and the labor force participation rate is at its lowest since December 2022. The impact of tariffs on the economy is still uncertain.

  • Unemployment rate decreased to 4.1%
  • Most jobs were in government and healthcare
  • Labor force participation rate at its lowest since December 2022
  • Uncertainty around the impact of tariffs

Shownotes Transcript

On California farms, ICE raid fears persist — at least half of the state’s crop workers are undocumented. As a result, the farms that grow three-quarters of U.S. fruits and nuts are experiencing worker shortages as harvests begin. In this episode, Trump's immigration policy clashes with the realities of labor-intensive farm work. Plus, growth on the June jobs report may be overstated, lower tariffs are still tariffs, and we check in on the import sector.
