美国失业率下降
The U.S. says its labor 1 market advanced again in August, with its unemployment rate hitting the lowest point since late 2008 and employers adding another 169,000 jobs.
The government said Friday that the jobless rate last month edged down to 7.3 percent.
The number of new jobs in August showed the U.S. economy, the world's largest, is advancing, but only modestly and not as fast as in early 2013.
In its newest report, the government also revised its job count for June and July downward, saying that a combined 74,000 fewer jobs were added in the two months than first estimated.
The relatively 2 weak job growth could complicate 3 economic decisions for the country's central bank, the Federal Reserve.
Policy makers 4 at the Fed have been weighing whether to cut the $85-billion-a-month purchase of securities they have been making to pump more money into the U.S. economy to boost its recovery.
The central bank has said that it might begin to pare back the purchases this year and end them by mid-2014. The policy makers are set to meet in two weeks and could order a cutback then, or wait and consider more economic reports before acting 5.

美国劳工部说，美国就业市场8月份继续扩张，失业率降至2008年末以来的最低点，雇主又增加16万9000就业岗位。
政府星期五说，上个月的失业率微幅降至7.3%.
8月份新的就业数据显示，世界最大的经济体美国的经济正在扩张，但仅是适度扩张，速度不及2013年年初。
美国政府在最新的报告中还下修了6月和7月的就业数据，跟第一次预估数字相比，两个月共减少了7万4千个就业人数，相对疲弱的就业增长可能会让美联储的经济决策变得复杂化。
美联储的决策者们一直在考虑是否减少每个月850亿美元购入债券的数量。美国央行通过购买债券向美国经济注入资金，推动复苏。
美联储表示，央行可能今年减少购入债券，并且在2014年中期之前结束购买。决策者们准备两个星期之后开会，会后可能下令减少购买，或者等待，在采取行动之前考虑更多的经济报告。
