五月份許多人找到了新工作，共有 172,000 個新職位。許多人在酒店與房屋建築業工作。但有些人年齡太大無法工作，且移居美國的人數減少了。
Workers get more money, but things cost more too. Food and clothes are expensive. Houses are also very expensive. Sellers ask for less money now, but houses are still too expensive for many people.
工人的收入增加了，但物價也隨之調漲。食物和衣物都很昂貴，房價也非常高。雖然現在賣家開出的價格有所降低，但對許多人來說，買房依然太貴。
The US bank wants to stop high prices. The bank sees that many people have jobs. Now, the bank might make it more expensive to borrow money. They will not lower the cost of loans.
美國銀行希望遏制高物價。銀行看到許多人有工作，因此現在可能會提高借貸成本，不會降低貸款利率。
Conclusion
The US has many jobs, but prices are still high. This means houses stay expensive and loans stay costly.
美國雖然有許多工作機會，但物價依然高漲。這意味著房價將維持在高點，貸款成本也會維持高位。
