2024年3月，美国的辞职人数比上月减少了19.8万人，降至332.9万人，低于2月份修正后的352.7万人，达到2021年1月以来的最低水平。衡量自愿离职者占总就业比例的指标——离职率在3月份小幅下降至2.1%，为2020年8月以来的最低水平。这表明，美国人可能对自己在当前市场上获得其他职位的能力缺乏信心，或者可能表明那些寻求跳槽的人的工资溢价较小。

The number of job quits in the United States decreased by 198,000 from the previous month to 3.329 million in March 2024, down from February's revised figure of 3.527 million and reaching the lowest level since January 2021. The quits rate, a metric that measures voluntary job leavers as a proportion of total employment, edged down to 2.1% in March, marking the lowest level since August 2020. This suggests that Americans may have less confidence in their ability to secure other positions in the current market or may indicate a smaller wage premium for those seeking to switch jobs.

2024年3月，美国建筑支出较上月下降0.2%，此前2月修正持平，未达到市场预测的0.3%的增长。在此期间，私人支出减少了0.5%，其中住宅部门减少了0.7%，尤其是多户项目（-0.6%），非住宅项目（-0.2%）的减少幅度较小。相反，公共建筑支出比上月增长0.8%，主要是由于电力（+3.3%）、保护和发展（+2.9%）、商业（+2.7%）和卫生（+1.9%）支出增加。3月份，建筑支出同比增长9.6%。

US construction spending fell by 0.2% from the previous month in March 2024, following a revised flat reading in February and missing market forecasts of a 0.3% rise. Private spending shrank by 0.5% in the period, led by a 0.7% decrease in the residential segment, notably in multi-family projects (-0.6%), and, to a lesser extent, the non-residential ones (-0.2%). Conversely, public construction outlays saw a 0.8% increase compared to the previous month, primarily due to higher spending on power (+3.3%), conservation and development (+2.9%), commercial (+2.7%) and health (+1.9%). Yearly, construction spending advanced by 9.6% in March.

2024年3月，职位空缺数量比上月减少32.5万个，降至848.8万个，达到2021年2月以来的最低水平，未达到869万个的市场共识。本月，建筑业（-18.2万）、金融和保险业（-15.8万）的职位空缺有所减少，但州和地方政府教育部门的职位空缺增加（+6.8万）。关于地区分布，西部（-194000人）、中西部（-112000人）和南部（-41000人）的职位空缺大幅下降，而东北部（+22000人）的空缺则有所上升。

The number of job openings declined by 325,000 from the previous month to 8.488 million in March 2024, reaching the lowest level since February 2021 and missing the market consensus of 8.690 million. During the month, job openings decreased in construction (-182,000) and in finance and insurance (-158,000), but increased in state and local government education (+68,000). Regarding regional distribution, job openings were sharply down in the West (-194,000), the Midwest (-112,000) and the South (-41,000), while they rose in the Northeast (+22,000).

美国ISM制造业PMI从上月的50.3降至2024年4月的49.2，远低于市场对停滞的预期。该数据反映了美国制造业的收缩，未能保持早些时候的增长势头，因为前一个月的增长是16个月来的首次增长。受纺织厂、食品、饮料和烟草、机械和电器行业需求下降的压力，新订单回落至收缩区间（3月份为49.1比54.1）。尽管如此，由于积压订单连续第19次下降（45.4对46.3），产量仍保持在扩张水平（51.3对54.6）。因此，产能需求下降导致制造商的就业水平连续第七个月下降（48.6比47.4）。与此同时，由于原油、铝、钢铁和塑料价格上涨，价格指数飙升至60.9，这是自2022年6月以来成本压力的最高增幅。

The ISM Manufacturing PMI in the United States fell to 49.2 in April of 2024 from 50.3 in the earlier month, firmly below market expectations of a stall. The data reflected a contraction in the US manufacturing sector, failing to maintain earlier traction as the prior month pointed to the first expansion in 16 months. New orders moved back to the contractionary territory (49.1 vs 54.1 in March), pressured by lower demand for textile mills, food, beverage, and tobacco, machinery, and electrical goods industries. Still, production was sustained at the expansionary level (51.3 vs 54.6), supported by the 19th straight decline in backlog of orders (45.4 vs 46.3). Consequently, lower demand for capacity drove employment levels for manufacturers to drop for the seventh straight month (48.6 vs 47.4). In the meantime, the price index soared to 60.9, pointing to the highest increase in cost pressures since June 2022, lifted by hikes in crude oil, aluminum, steel, and plastics.
