美联邦失业给付到期 130万人受冲击
关键字：美联储失业给付
美国联邦失业给付28日到期,超过百万民众受到冲击,无法继续领取补助。美国总统欧巴马和民主党人强调,将在1月6日会期重开时,争取延长失业给付。
BBC和路透社报导,2008年美国陷入经济衰退,当时的美国总统布什提出失业紧急补助计划。美国失业补助原本由各州发放,多以26周为限,新提案让领完26周地方补助的民众,能从联邦政府手上取得每月平均1,166美元的补贴,最长可达73周之久,此一方案此后年年获得延期。但是这回国会无法在冬季休会前达成协议,导致130万人在耶诞假期中遭逢打击。
白宫表示,联邦失业补助让百万美国家庭免于贫困,共和党人则认为,每年250亿美元的补助代价过于高昂,议案因此未能过关。美国目前约有410万人失业超过6个月以上。民主党人力图争取中产阶级支持,参议院多数党领袖Harry Reid誓言,会期重开时将把延长失业给付视为第一要务,该党并会争取提高基本薪资。
华尔街日报(WSJ)11月报导,过去一年来美国总计新增230万份工作,其中有35%是来自平均时薪不到20美元的产业。麻省理工学院(MIT)斯隆管理学院教授Paul Osterman指出,数十年来美国低技能劳动者即使在景气好的时候也过得很辛苦。他说,30年来这个族群的中间薪资几乎没有上涨过。今年10月美国非农业就业机会虽增加204,000份,但超过三分之一是来自低薪的餐饮、零售产业。
