(뉴욕=연합뉴스) 이지헌 특파원 = 미국 전역에 걸쳐 고용시장의 불균형 완화 추세가 지속되고 있다고 미 연방준비제도(Fed·연준)가 평가했다.
연준은 18일(현지시간) 공개한 경기동향 보고서(베이지북)에서 "대부분 지역에서 고용이 미약하거나 완만한 수준에서 증가했고, 기업들은 채용을 덜 긴급하게 하고 있다고 보고됐다"며 이처럼 진단했다.
연준은 이어 "그러나 대부분 지역에서 여전히 숙련 노동자를 모집하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있다"며 "일부 지역에선 고령 노동자가 같은 일을 계속하거나 시간제로 복직하는 등 경제활동을 지속하는 것으로 나타났다"라고 소개했다.

President Biden is expected to ask Congress in the coming days to approve about $100 billion in emergency funds to arm Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan and fortify the U.S.-Mexico border, according to multiple people familiar with the plan.
The funding request, which lawmakers expect to receive by Friday morning, would cover a full year and is aimed at insulating the security funding from the partisan spending battles that have hamstrung recent efforts to supply Ukraine with weapons and other assistance to beat back a Russian invasion.

Iran’s Call for Oil Embargo on Israel Roils Markets
A top Iranian official urged Islamic countries to halt oil shipments to Israel, briefly causing a jump in crude prices.

The prospect of an oil embargo arising from the conflict between Israel and militant groups contributed to a sharp but brief jolt in oil prices on Wednesday.
Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, called for Islamic countries to boycott Israel, including stopping oil shipments, according to Iranian media. He was speaking at a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Although Israel imports nearly all its oil, analysts said such an embargo would probably have little immediate impact, because the country does not buy oil from major Persian Gulf producers like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates or Iran.
