Companies in US blame trade war for 10,488 layoffs in August: Report

The pace of downsizing at American companies surged last month, with more than 10,000 job cuts blamed on "trade difficulties" alone, according to figures released Thursday. Employers also announced the most layoffs of any August since 2009, the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said. Job cuts rose 38 percent over July, with 53,480 positions to be slashed from employer payrolls, led by workforce reductions in health care, which had been a mainstay of recent job creation, the tech sector and manufacturing. "Employers are beginning to feel the effects of the trade war and imposed tariffs by the US and China," Andrew Challenger, the firm's vice president, said in a statement. "We are continuing to see investor concerns shaking confidence in the market, and employers appear to be cutting workers in response to a slowdown in demand for their products and service."

Surveys show China manufacturing demand weak amid mounting tariff war

Two surveys of Chinese manufacturing show demand is weak amid a mounting tariff war with Washington over trade and technology. A monthly purchasing managers' index released by a business magazine, Caixin, rose to 50.4 from July's 49.9 on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 show activity increasing. That indicates "renewed improvement" but said a gauge of new orders fell to its lowest level this year, the magazine said. A separate survey released Saturday by an industry group, the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing, showed activity declining to 49.5 from July's 49.7.
