NEW YORK - U.S. job cuts rose to a six-month high in August, as some managers remained concerned about the economy’s susceptibility to shocks, but hirings also increased by nearly five-fold last month, a report said on Tuesday.

Employment consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. said employers announced 74,150 layoffs in August, up 6.6 percent from 69,572 in July.
However, hiring plans increased in August to 132,105 from 26,880 in July, with the most hiring announcements made by retailers. Hiring in the retail sector normally picks up in late summer as companies gear up for the holiday season, the report noted.
Yet, many of the retail jobs added over the next few months may disappear by the end of the holiday season next February, said John Challenger, chief executive of the firm.
Die Einzelhändler planen Einstellungen - obwohl der Bestand steigt und der Umsatz abnimmt.
Typischerweise vervielfachen sich die Entlassungen im 4. Quartal - folglich stellt der August nur ein Vorspiel dar, von den Dingen, die da kommen werden.
