How is the labor market situation in the US recently?（最近のアメリカの雇用情勢はどうなのか？）

Unemployment rate is difficult to measure and picture now is complex.   

One measure comes from the official survey in the US. Between June and July, the national unemployment rate dropped from 11.1% to 10.2% as employers added 1.8 million jobs. New state level data released by Bureau of labor Statistics shows that employment situation improved in most states from June to July.

Another source from CNBC News, Ed Lazear Professor of Stanford University said that labor market is active now. 2.5 million jobs were created over the past three months.

Donald trump celebrated the fall in the unemployment rate on Twitter. "Great jobs numbers! 1.37 million jobs added in August. Unemployment rate falls to 8.4%(Wow, much better than expected!),"  he wrote.

                                    (Wow! much better than expected!)

However, most of them are still suffering the economic realities of being unemployment. 

Also, the US and Eurozone’s economies could take until 2023 to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis, according to a new report from consultancy McKinsey & Company.
It could take some time to recover from economic difficulties.

Thanks to COVID-19, this has been one of the worst years many of us can remember. It has certainly been a catastrophic year for a lot of businesses. Companies are going bust or being forced to reduce their workforce.

Let me introduce this article by Oliver Hill, he says that successful people such as Elon Musk, JK Rowling and Steve Jobs got opportunities after the misfortune. 

“Business opportunities are always coming and going”
“Don’t wait for the perfect moment, create it.”
