Weaker-than-expected job growth in December _1_ questions about whether the economy is as strong as previously thought. As NPR's John Ydstie explains lots of economists are actually skeptical of the government's December unemployment report accurately reflects what's happening.

12月的就業(yè)增長低于預(yù)期，人們開始質(zhì)疑經(jīng)濟(jì)是否像之前預(yù)期的那樣強(qiáng)勁。據(jù)NPR新聞的約翰·約斯蒂報道，實際上對政府失業(yè)報告是否正確反映出目前的經(jīng)濟(jì)現(xiàn)狀這一問題，許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家持懷疑態(tài)度。

The government survey of employers found just _2_ jobs were added to the economy in December, that's _3_ expectations and far below the trend of the past year. Moody's analytics chief economist Mark Zandi thinks the December report is a statistical aberration.

政府對雇主的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，12月新增工作崗位只有7.4萬個，這遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于預(yù)期，同時也遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于去年的水平。穆迪分析公司的首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家馬克·贊迪認(rèn)為，12月份的報告存在統(tǒng)計偏差。

"It doesn't represent reality. It's not consistent with any of the other economic data that we've got which shows a better economy."

“這并沒有反映出實際情況。這份報告與其他經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)據(jù)不相符，其他經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)據(jù)均表明經(jīng)濟(jì)在逐漸復(fù)蘇。”

That data includes low first-time claims for unemployment, _4_ consumer optimism. Survey shows businesses anticipate hiring more workers and strengthening housing market. Many economists think December's job growth number will _5_ upward in the coming month. John Ydstie , NPR News, Washington.

那些數(shù)據(jù)包括首次申領(lǐng)失業(yè)救濟(jì)金人數(shù)下降，消費者樂觀態(tài)度日益增加。調(diào)查顯示，企業(yè)期望雇傭更多職員，房市也將加強(qiáng)。許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家認(rèn)為，下個月將對12月份的就業(yè)增長數(shù)據(jù)向上修正。NPR新聞，約翰·約斯蒂華盛頓報道。
