报告显示房市和失业可能影响美国经济复苏

New reports on housing and unemployment show both sectors continue to struggle despite the overall U.S. economic recovery.

有关美国房地产和失业的最新报告显示，尽管美国经济整体上在恢复，但是这两个行业仍然举步维艰。

一个民间行业组织星期四发表的报告显示，6月份二手房的销售比5月份减少了5.1%。

The National Association of Realtors said that at the current pace of sales it would take about nine months to sell all of the previously-owned homes on the market.
