Gray-collar prospects

Both the Labor and Social Security Bureau, the Personnel Bureau, and intermediaries are quite optimistic about the prospects of "grey collar workers."

Senior technicians are actually talents

Chen Kehan ??is the manager of the talent agency department of Shanghai Dongling International Talent Co., Ltd. He received a big order: South Korea wants to recruit Shanghai technicians, with a monthly salary of RMB 12,000 Yuan. According to his understanding, these technicians are typical "grey collar workers". According to information from South Korea: Applicants must have a high school degree or above, and must have first-line experience in emerging high-tech industries such as nanotechnology and biotechnology.

Chen Kehan ??said that senior technicians are actually talents, but this has not yet been formally determined in the form of documents. As soon as the term "grey collar" was introduced, the direction of development was clear - they were the best "sellers" in the market. The person in charge of the Municipal Talent Service Center revealed: For local headhunters, the high-end talent market is monopolized by foreign competitors and is generally difficult to obtain. The low-end sector is often keen on "rushing" to job fairs, and the "grey collar" people in between may be A space for them to develop and grow in the future.

People from the Labor Insurance Bureau said that launching the concept of "grey collar" at this time is to send a "good" message to the supply-side market of labor (i.e., job seekers). At present, on the one hand, there are people who have nothing to do: the supply of candidates for general management positions and clerical positions is seriously exceeding demand; on the other hand, there is no one to do it: many technical and skilled positions cannot recruit people, and a large number of "grey-collar workers" There is a serious shortage of people for new occupations and new positions. The specific explanation of "good" is: on the one hand, there is broad employment space. For example, motion capture has become a relatively mature profession abroad, but it is still an emerging industry in China. There are only three such equipment in Shanghai, and there are only three or four employees. In fact, judging from the situation , Shanghai needs at least 300 units, and the corresponding employees are at least 300, or even 600. As the industry develops, the demand for talents will also increase. On the other hand, there is a very generous income. The monthly salary of a "grey-collar worker" is at least 5,000-6,000 yuan. In some emerging industries such as animation production, the income is even more generous, with a monthly salary of up to 10,000-20,000 yuan.

People from the Municipal Personnel Bureau said that the introduction of a new concept often indicates that some kind of change is taking place in society.
