According to Jinshi, employment indicators in a new batch of regional Fed surveys in the United States hint at risks in the US job market, prompting the central bank to turn to rate cuts. In the five recently released regional manufacturing reports, the August index showed that the number of employees in factories was decreasing, and the employment index of service providers was also falling. The index measuring working hours is also declining. These surveys are more of a measure of industry sentiment than actual changes in employment. Nevertheless, the data provide clues to a slowdown in the job market after disappointing July job growth and a sharp downward revision of March employment data.
