本轮美国经济衰退被认为是自上世纪"大萧条"以来最严重的衰退,衰退后就业复苏迟缓,就业远未回到正常水平。建筑业就业改善迟缓拖累了整体就业复苏。尽管美国就业市场面临重大挑战,但就业增长疲弱的主因是周期性的而不是结构性的,这意味着可以通过货币政策来解决就业问题。美联储的复苏政策是以刺激就业增长为导向的,在中短期通胀预期低于长期目标值的情况下,美联储采取了较为激进的非常规政策以刺激就业增长。

The Fed＇ s recovery policy is employment-stimulation-oriented. Under the background of lower short and medium term in- flation expectation than the long-term target, the Fed adopted radical nonconventional policies to stimulate employment.
