A |     Applications for U.S. unemployment benefits fell to their lowest level in eight months last week as businesses continue to retain workers despite elevated interest rates meant to cool the economy and labor market.Jobless claim applications fell by 13,000 to 198,000 for the week ending Oct. 14, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That's the fewest since January and about 14,000 fewer than analysts expected.Jobless claim applications are considered a proxy for layoffs.Despite the low level of weekly first-time jobless benefit applications, the number of Americans remaining on the unemployment rolls — known as “continuing claims” — jumped to its highest level in three months.Overall, 1.73 million people were collecting unemployment benefits the week that ended Oct. 7, about 29,000 more than the previous week and the most since early July.Analysts suggested one reason why new applications for unemployment aid might be falling while the number of people who continue to receive benefits is rising: Though relatively few people are being laid off, those who are already unemployed may now be having a harder time finding new work.“That would be consistent with other recent anecdotal evidence, including the Beige Book yesterday, which noted that firms were hiring ‘less urgently’ and finding that the pool of available job candidates was expanding,” said Nancy Vanden Houten, an economist at Oxford Economics. That comports with recent data showing that more people have started looking for work again. In August, about 736,000 people re-entered the search for employment, boosting the unemployment rate from 3.5% to 3.8%, where it remains today. Only people who are actively looking for a job are counted as unemployed.Though the Federal Reserve opted to leave its benchmark borrowing rate alone at its most recent meeting, it is well into the second year of its battle to rein in persistent inflation. The central bank has raised its benchmark rate 11 times since March of 2022, with part of its goal to cool hiring and bring down wages. But the labor market has held up better than expected.In September, employers added 336,000 jobs, easily surpassing the 227,000 for August and raising the average gain for each of the past three months to a robust 266,000.In August, American employers posted a surprising 9.6 million job openings, up from 8.9 million in July and the first uptick in three months.Besides some layoffs early this year — mostly in the technology sector — companies have been trying to retain workers.Thursday's report also said that the four-week moving average of claims — which flattens out some of the week-to-week volatility — ticked down by 1,000 to 205,750.。    冀时新闻报道 首颗"雄安造"卫星的背后，见证了雄安新区空天信息产业链条的加速成型、拔节成长，也形成极强示范效应，吸引更多航天、空天、数字科创类企业集聚雄安。

B | 作为国内唯一具备全生态服务能力的卫星组网解决方案商，鸿擎科技在2025年初落户雄安，当年10月，首颗"雄安一号"就完成下线，创造了"当年注册、当年建设、当年投产、当年下线"的行业奇迹。鸿擎科技副总裁 史耀中：一个细节的话就是，其实卫星的整个的厂房要求，一般挑高都要求是10米以上。新区这边第一时间得知我们这边的这个定制化需求以后，立即就联系对应的这个厂房的建设单位，按照企业的这个要求，将厂房的整个内部进行了一个升级和改造。我记得当时装修的时候，同时有五十多台登高车，同时在内部进行对应的加急作业，其实也是体现了咱们雄安速度。为助力后续航天企业轻资产落地，雄安新区同步建设卫星共享智造中心、共享测试中心，年测试能力最高可达100颗整星及200套载荷。

C | 卫星制造过程中所需的力学、热环境、太阳翼展开标定等全维度测试验证在这里都能完成。鸿擎科技副总裁 史耀中：在这个航天领域，实际上生产制造研发它肯定是需要对应的成本的。雄安新区这边实际上是给提供了非常方便的一些公共的基础设施。这样的话可以为很多企业节约大量的前期的固定资产投资。

D | 雄安科学园工作人员 何岩松：我们建立的这个共享智造中心和共享测试中心的初衷，是为了帮助初创的商业航天企业来节省他们的成本，然后把他们的时间和精力更多地投入到下一步的发展和创新过程中。以承接疏解带动产业发展、引领科技创新、加快要素集聚，雄安新区实现空天信息产业从无到有、从有到优。数据显示，雄安新区目前已集聚空天信息上下游企业69家、创新平台9个。从卫星设计、零部件生产，到在轨运维、时空应用……雄安新区空天信息与卫星互联网产业链，正焕发出勃勃生机。北京航空航天大学宇航学院副教授 杨良："雄安一号"（鸿鹄03星）是最直观的"疏解成绩单"，能极大带动高端企业入驻。雄安的核心使命是承接北京非首都功能疏解。落地企业能在雄安造出自己的卫星，成功通过太空环境的严酷考验，就是用实力实打实地证明，雄安留得住高端科创资源、养得活未来产业、给得好发展平台。这会形成极强的示范效应，吸引更多航天、空天、数字科创类企业，主动向雄安集聚，让疏解不再是"搬过来"，而是"聚起来、强起来"。
