The two major industries are caught in a "labor shortage" and can't recruit people with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan? Why is the supply in short supply?

It is said that "finding a job" is the top priority in life, especially for college students who just graduated. It is particularly important to find a decent job that suits your professional ability. After the global epidemic struck last year, both enterprises and self-employed individuals suffered different degrees of trauma, from bankruptcy to leaving school.

Fortunately, 20021With the overall economic recovery, all walks of life have resumed work. According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, as of April 20021,the national unemployment rate was 5. 1%, which was 0.2 percentage points lower than that in March last year. Experts said that this data can judge that the current domestic employment situation is relatively stable. 1-During April and June, there were 4.37 million new employees nationwide.

However, the employment pressure in China has been great, especially the number of college graduates is increasing year by year. According to the data released by the Ministry of Education, there were about 9.09 million college graduates in June this year, 350,000 more than in 2020, setting a record high. In this regard, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that he would extend the employment expansion policy of partially reducing jobs until the end of this year to help graduates find jobs.

Are the two major industries facing a "labor shortage"? The talent gap is tens of millions.

Although it is not easy to find a job, there are many jobs facing the talent "gap" every year, and some even reach tens of millions of "gaps". According to the position ranking of 100 in the first quarter of 2026 released by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the salesman ranked first with 5438+0.

In addition, among the 100 jobs listed as "the most lacking jobs", there are 36 jobs related to manufacturing, and among the 25 jobs newly added, there are 15 jobs directly related to manufacturing, accounting for 60% of the total, including "smelting engineering technicians" and "metal heat treatment workers".

Among the 34 jobs in short supply, 16 jobs are closely related to manufacturing, accounting for 47. 1% of the total. According to industry insiders, if the talent "gap" is not effectively alleviated, the manufacturing "gap" will reach 30 million in the next five years.

There is also "transportation" that is "in the same boat" with the manufacturing industry. According to the data of China Communications and Transportation Association, at present, the "main force" of the transportation industry is the post-70 s, and the proportion of post-90 s is "very small".

Guo Zhaoming, secretary-general of the Logistics Education Committee, said that the number of truck drivers in China is about 2 1 10,000, but it is increasingly difficult for the transportation industry to be "younger", resulting in a serious age gap. Moreover, the gap of truck drivers belonging to the transportation industry has exceeded100000, and the "main force" will retire after 70, and the gap will further expand.

Are there "labor shortages" in these two industries because the monthly salary is too low? On the contrary, in order to recruit people, the manufacturing factory raised the salary by 15% to 20%. Some front-line employees have already paid more than 6,000 yuan, and some factories even paid "10,000 yuan". Truck drivers are paid more. It is reported that the monthly salary can reach up to 25,000 yuan.

Why don't young people want to do it?

In view of the gap between the two industries, Chen Xinnian, a researcher at the National Economic Research Institute, said that the reason is that working in factories is more stressful. Now most people still look at factory employees with "colored glasses", which leads to low social status; Moreover, the working hours are longer, the welfare subsidy policy is better, the promotion is difficult, and there is no "future", which leads many young people to "stay away from factory work".

Like manufacturing, today's young people "reject" truck drivers for the same reason. First of all, being a truck driver is basically "taking the car as the home", and traveling in the field for more than 20 days a month; Secondly, because the work of truck drivers is basically long distance, eating and sleeping can not guarantee the law; Finally, it is because the truck driver is really bitter and tired. Although their income is acceptable, they have to pay more to get a high income. To sum up, it is not difficult to understand why young people don't want to work in factories or be truck drivers.

Moreover, college students nowadays are not as precious as they were 30 years ago. Almost everyone can go to college now. When their educational level is improved, their ideological realm will be broadened, and they will naturally want to find jobs that can improve their abilities or have higher social status. Based on this, workers, drivers and other jobs are no longer within the choice range of most post-90 s students with higher education.

Faced with the dilemma between manufacturing and transportation, some experts suggested: First, improve the status of these two industries in society, remove the "colored glasses" of ordinary people, and work regardless of whether they are expensive or not. Only by making people realize that work is equal can we attract candidates better. The second is to improve the relevant industrial chain, introduce subsidies and support policies, and make the promotion "just around the corner"; The third is to set up a special training institution, so that employees can receive regular training and enhance their professional ethics awareness.

If we can change the "big environment" of manufacturing and transportation, I believe that the problem of "labor shortage" in the future can be solved, right?
