The big monthly jobs report _1_ under analysis or analysts' expectations. That is the unemployment rate is down to 7.4%. But that's partly because people stop _2_ jobs in July, so they were not counted in the latest tally. Economist Huge Johnson says the greater disappointment came in job creation.
月度就业报告与分析人员的预期相符合。失业率下降至7.4%。但是部分原因是民众停止在七月份寻找工作，所以他们并没被算在最新的报告里。经济学家休·约翰逊表示，增加就业的表现令人大失所望。
"Most of us were now looking for a number around 185,000. We only saw 162,000 jobs."
“我们大多数人期望的数字约为18.5万个职位。但是报告显示只有16.2万个新增就业。”
While Republicans are using the latest numbers as proof of an administration's failure to put a serious dent in unemployment, NPR's Ari Shapiro says White House _3_ 41 straight months of job creation. These July numbers came on Alan Krueger's last day as chair of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers.
共和党利用最新的数据证明政府的失败，政府在失业问题上制造了巨大的缺口。据NPR新闻的阿里·夏皮罗报道，白宫正在计算连续41个月的新增就业情况。这些7月份的数据在阿兰·克鲁格任职白宫经济咨询委员会主席的最后一天公布。
"I think what we see today it's what we've seen frankly for the two years I'd _4_ here. The economy is continuing to heal. It's moving in the right direction. It's not moving fast enough."
“我认为我们今天看到的数据是两年来我在这职位上一直看到的数据。经济继续在恢复。正在向正确的方向发展。但是发展的速度不够快。”
He blames the slow pace on Congress's refusal to implement President Obama's job proposals. Republicans in Congress blame the president's health care law for the jump in part-time instead of full-time hiring. They say employers _5_ to avoid the requirement to ensure full-time workers. But Krueger says many of the part-time jobs come from the sequester. Those across-the-board cuts have forced some workers to cut their hours. Ari Shapiro, NPR News, the White House.
他将经济发展缓慢的责任归咎为国会拒绝实施总统奥巴马的就业提案。国会共和党指责总统的医保法案令兼职员工的人数激增，而不是全职雇员的人数。他们表示，雇主试图避免为全职员工购买保险的要求。但是克鲁格表示，大部分兼职工作都是自动减支计划引发的后果。全面减支计划强迫一些员工削减他们的工作时长。NPR新闻，阿里·夏皮罗白宫报道。
