南达科他州经济顾问研判逆风：劳动参与率降至66.3%，每个求职者对应至少三个岗位空缺
南达科他州长的经济顾问委员会（Governor's Council of Economic Advisors）召开季度线上会议，讨论该州面临的经济逆风：劳动年龄人口中在职或求职的比例持续下降、农户经营承压、物价上涨。与会者包括州财政与管理局局长吉姆·特威利格（Jim Terwilliger），他表示，眼下确实存在一些逆风。州政府总部位于休斯县皮尔市。
数据显示，南达科他州16岁以上居民的劳动参与率在9月降至66.3%，低于2025年同期的68.2%。州经济发展办公室专员比尔·伊文（Bill Even）表示，参与率下降的部分原因是人口老龄化。
与此同时，该州就业市场仍显紧俏。州经济学家德里克·约翰逊（Derek Johnson）表示，南达科他州目前每个失业者至少对应三个岗位空缺，全州失业率为2%。
会议还讨论了联邦政府近期宣布的80亿美元农民援助计划对该州农业的意义。约翰逊在财政简报中说，本财政年度截至9月的州普通基金收入为7.04亿美元，比州政府预测高出约35万美元。
来自各地的委员报告了地方情况：苏福尔斯委员肖恩·普里切特（Shawn Pritchett）说，当地截至9月的销售税征收额上升，但通胀开始侵蚀消费支出，演唱会门票销售转弱；布鲁金斯委员卡拉·加茨克（Carla Gatzke）说当地新建筑工程正在全市展开，同时指出金属大量从加拿大进口，关税波动影响制造业；拉皮德城委员卡莱布·阿尔瑟诺（Caleb Arceneaux）说，拉什莫尔山与恶地国家公园的游客量下降，地区游客消费也明显减少。
South Dakota Economic Advisers Weigh Headwinds as Labor Force Participation Falls to 66.3 Percent
The South Dakota Governor's Council of Economic Advisors met in its quarterly virtual session to discuss economic headwinds facing the state, including a shrinking share of residents in the workforce, struggling farmers and rising costs. Jim Terwilliger, commissioner of the state Bureau of Finance and Management, told council members from across the state that there are headwinds out there, no doubt about it. State government is headquartered in Pierre, in Hughes County.
The share of South Dakota residents aged 16 or older who are working or actively looking for work, known as the labor force participation rate, fell to 66.3 percent in September, down from 68.2 percent in September 2025. Bill Even, commissioner of the Governor's Office of Economic Development, said part of the decline in workforce participation is due to an aging population.
At the same time, the state's job market remains tight. State Economist Derek Johnson said South Dakota has at least three job openings for every unemployed person, with an unemployment rate of 2 percent.
Council members also discussed a recently announced $8 billion federal assistance package for farmers. Briefing the council on the state budget, Johnson said the state's fiscal-year general fund revenue through September was $704 million, about $350,000 above the state's forecast.
Members reported conditions from their communities. Sioux Falls council member Shawn Pritchett said sales tax collections were up through September but warned inflation is beginning to hurt consumer spending, as shown by softer concert ticket sales. Brookings member Carla Gatzke reported new construction across her city, while noting that much metal is imported from Canada and tariff swings impact manufacturing. Rapid City member Caleb Arceneaux reported that visitation to Mount Rushmore and Badlands National Park is down, and that regional visitor spending has also dropped significantly.
