至少有一名知名經(jīng)濟學(xué)家認為,我們已經(jīng)觸碰到了新冠疫情衰退的谷底。
Moody’s Analytics的首席經(jīng)濟學(xué)家馬克?贊迪稱:“我認為衰退已經(jīng)結(jié)束。衰退在5月就結(jié)束了,我們將在6月看到就業(yè)出現(xiàn)增長,我們進入了恢復(fù)期?!?

380萬的救助金領(lǐng)取人數(shù)降幅意味著招聘和再招聘已經(jīng)回歸經(jīng)濟。然而,我們還有很長一段路要走,因為3月14日那一周僅有180萬民眾在領(lǐng)取失業(yè)保險,而在5月9日這個數(shù)字達到了2490萬的峰值。

贊迪表示:“要走出衰退期,我們還得經(jīng)歷很長的時間。這是自上世紀(jì)30年代以來最嚴(yán)重的下滑。然而,我們已經(jīng)越過了谷底,這意味著衰退已經(jīng)結(jié)束。”(財富中文網(wǎng))

On Friday the unemployment rate for May will be released, and it's expected to be around 20%, up from 3.5% in February. But even as we await that Great Depression-level jobless rate, at least one prominent economist thinks we have already hit the bottom of the COVID-19 recession.
"I think the recession is over. The recession ended in May, and in June we'll see job growth," says Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics. "We are in recovery."
The massive contractions that started in March reversed in late May as states began to loosen up on their shutdowns, Zandi told Fortune. The number of Americans on unemployment benefits fell 3.9 million last week to a total of 21 million receiving benefits. And Zandi forecast the Department of Labor's data release will show another massive decline in the number of Americans on unemployment insurance.
A 3.8 million decline in the number of Americans on state unemployment rolls points to hiring and rehiring in the economy. However, we have a long way to go—given only 1.8 million people were on unemployment insurance the week of March 14, a number that peaked at 24.9 million the week of May 9.
And companies eliminated fewer jobs than expected in May. On last Wednesday, ADP reported private payroll fell by almost 2.8 million jobs in May. That was well below the more than 8 million some economists expected, and far under the 19.6 million lost jobs in April.
But being out of the recession phase—when economic growth and activity are declining—and into the recovery phase doesn't mean the economic storm has passed. The economy could take months or years to recover. Zandi foresees the unemployment rate falling in June, but staying above 10% until at least September.
"We have a long way to dig out of this. It is the most severe downturn since the 1930s. But we are coming off the bottom, and that is the end of the recession," Zandi says.
