Is employment really scarce?

Is employment really scarce? I don't know if you have noticed this phenomenon. Nowadays, more and more factories are beginning to fall into the labor shortage, and it is still difficult to recruit people no matter how they recruit people. Is employment really scarce? Let's explore together! Is the labor shortage really? 1

Recently, many media reported that there is a labor shortage in the places where the labor is concentrated in China, and the "labor shortage" has once again become the focus of attention. What is the employment situation of Chinese enterprises? The reporter conducted an investigation and interview on this.

is the absence of work a normal or short-term phenomenon?

The shortage of employment mainly occurs in a certain period of time before and after the Spring Festival

On February 21st, the 19th day of the first lunar month, and the first Monday after the Lantern Festival, there were obviously more young people carrying big bags on buses and subways near Guangzhou Railway Station, East Railway Station and bus station.

Chen Wenliang, the owner of an electronics factory in Taihe Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou, has been running the factory for more than ten years. He told reporters that since 23, there has been a lack of work after the Spring Festival, but all production lines can be opened.

After the Spring Festival this year, nearly 4 employees were not in place, and a production line was empty. It was not until the 21st that all of them started. "Although there are still a dozen workers missing, we can finally start full work."

Facing the "labor shortage" around the Spring Festival, Zhang Baoying, director of Guangzhou Human Resources Market Service Center, responded peacefully. Zhang Baoying told reporters that many migrant workers who return home for the New Year will not go out to work until after the Lantern Festival. The situation from the labor market also confirms this.

since the first job fair on February 1th, the number of enterprises and job seekers in Guangzhou Human Resources Market Service Center, where job seekers are concentrated, has been rising continuously. From the first day, only more than 1, people entered the market, and now there are more than 5, job fairs.

A sample survey of 343 representative enterprises involving more than 31, migrant workers by Guangzhou Human Resources Market Service Center shows that many employment indicators in Guangzhou are basically the same before and after the Spring Festival this year. It is estimated that within one month after the holiday, the amount of normal supplementary work required by enterprises will be about 15,, which is the same as last year.

the reporter found an interesting phenomenon when searching for the word "labor shortage" used by a central media: in February and March of 21, "labor shortage" appeared the most, with 27 times, accounting for nearly 51% of the whole year. This also reflects that the shortage of labor force in enterprises is more obvious in a specific period before and after the Spring Festival.

Li Ding, a professor at Guangdong Academy of Social Sciences, said: "Staged lack of work is an inevitable phenomenon." Relevant persons said that on the whole, the basic pattern of labor supply exceeding demand in China has not changed, and the "labor shortage" is still limited to a certain range and a specific time period.

lack of work, fewer people or less money?

Salary, working environment and development space are important conditions

On February 16th, the 14th day of the first lunar month, the reporter saw in the Andemen labor market in Nanjing that many enterprises had started to register for employment in the intermediary offices here.

Ma Dechao, from Chuzhou, Anhui Province, told reporters that migrant workers are most concerned about two things: one is the salary, and the other is whether the salary can be paid on time. Li Shifu, from Bengbu, Anhui, wants to find a job as an apprentice for his 17-year-old son. He values the safety of the factory, food and accommodation, and hopes that his son can learn a skill.

after the holiday, many enterprises are shouting "labor shortage", but at the same time, many places and enterprises have successfully solved the "recruitment difficulty".

After the Spring Festival, Yangzhou Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Jiangsu Province went to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui and other labor exporting provinces to "rob and dig people".

Wang Feifei, director of the Development Zone Office of Yangzhou Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, said that after a week of cross-provincial recruitment, 2, migrant workers have intended to work in Yangzhou, which can alleviate the employment gap in the city by about 5%.

Wang Feifei attributed the success of this recruitment to Yangzhou's "three stays" policy: attracting people with reasonable salary, gathering people with the management of human culture, and inspiring people with broad career prospects.

On the first weekend after the Spring Festival, a "recruitment group" composed of 14 key enterprises in Deqing County, Zhejiang Province, with 2,68 jobs, came to Xifeng County, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, and started the road of recruiting talents in the west.

With good accommodation and spare-time living conditions, Zhejiang Deqing Antai Fashion Company has recruited 741 workers in more than 4 types of work in Xifeng.

In Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, even during the Spring Festival, when employment is most tense, hundreds of machines in two companies, Yihua Textile and Yifeng Chemical Fiber under Zhejiang Tiansheng Holding Group, are still operating at full capacity, and more than 1, employees are in full swing. Enterprises pay overtime wages to employees according to the provisions of the wage negotiation system.

"According to the survey, if the monthly salary is less than 2,5 yuan now, many people are reluctant to go out. In order to retain people, the salaries of local enterprises have generally increased, and enterprises in Shaanxi have increased by an average of 1% to 2% this year. If the comparative advantage of foreign wages is not obvious, the willingness of migrant workers to go out will definitely decline.

In addition, there are many policies to benefit farmers, and the choice of migrant workers is more rational. " Fu Kunpeng, director of the Shaanxi Provincial Labor Exchange Guidance Center, said that taking the three cities in southern Shaanxi as an example, after the Spring Festival, the number of foreign enterprises recruiting in this area has increased compared with previous years, and the number of recruits has also increased, but the number actually recruited is far from enough.

Shen yongzhang, director of the labor and social security bureau of Deqing county, Zhejiang province, said that now, migrant workers not only demand certain wages and benefits.

I hope to have a good working environment and harmonious labor relations, and have more interests for personal career development and growth space. This requires the government to guide norms in a timely manner and enterprises to actively build a harmonious "labor ecology" of win-win situation between employers and employees.

which enterprises are the most "scarce" for lack of jobs?

Mainly concentrated in manufacturing and service industries

Faced with "recruitment difficulties", many enterprises began to raise their salaries, hoping to recruit people as soon as possible. In Wuhan, Foxconn raised its salary again in the New Year, promising a monthly salary of 2,2-2,8 yuan after the expiration of the probation period of 6 months.

Last October, the monthly salary of workers after the probation period of Foxconn in Wuhan was just raised to about 135 yuan. Nevertheless, Foxconn is far from recruiting enough workers.

It is understood that the labor-intensive enterprises in Hubei are mainly processing and manufacturing industries, catering services and wholesale and retail industries.

Ou Zhenzhi, director of guangdong provincial department of human resources and social security, said in an interview that after the Spring Festival in 211, there will be about 1 million people without jobs in Guangdong. He said, "This is a normal figure, and the lack of jobs is mainly concentrated in labor-intensive enterprises."

A few days ago, Xi 'an conducted a sampling survey on the employment of 14 enterprises in the city in spring, with 87. 5% of enterprises plan to recruit new employees within two months after the Spring Festival, and plan to provide 5,233 jobs. 42。 2% of enterprises said that "there are many migrant workers, but not many job seekers meet the job requirements".

Fu Kunpeng said, "The shortage of jobs in manufacturing and service industries is the most serious." Take Shaanxi Shangluo BYD Industrial Co., Ltd. as an example. In the first half of the year, the company needed to increase the number of operators and technicians by about 4,5, but the company's existing staff loss was serious, with a cumulative loss of more than 4 people before the Spring Festival.

"The structural contradiction in the labor market is still outstanding. Some enterprises can't recruit people, while others can't find jobs." Fu Xiaopeng said.

The person in charge of Zhejiang Employment Management Service Bureau analyzed that "at present, the shortage of workers in enterprises above designated size, state-owned enterprises and large foreign-funded enterprises in Zhejiang is not serious.

It is often the labor-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises that lack human resources reserves that are difficult to recruit. " Statistics show that at present, the types of jobs lacking in Zhejiang enterprises are mainly skilled workers in manufacturing, mechanical and electronic workers with high technical content and some service jobs.

Yin Weimin, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security

The situation of "recruitment difficulties" is basically the same as last year

Yin Weimin, Minister of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said on February 22nd that after the Spring Festival this year, some areas with concentrated employment still have the problem of "recruitment difficulties".

However, the overall situation is basically the same as last year, and the employment gap is mainly concentrated in labor-intensive manufacturing and service-oriented industries.

The main reasons for the "difficulty in recruiting workers" are as follows:

First, China's economy is picking up and the demand for employment in enterprises is increasing.

second, the employment opportunities in the central and western regions have increased rapidly, attracting a large number of laborers to transfer their jobs locally, and the number of people working in the east has decreased. The implementation of a series of policies to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers has also attracted some laborers to return to their hometowns to farm.

Third, the salary, working environment and employment methods of some enterprises are not suitable for the workers' employment aspirations, income expectations and career development expectations.

Yin Weimin proposed that we should pay attention to the phenomenon of "difficulty in recruiting workers" and actively resolve the structural contradiction of employment:

First, we should strengthen information guidance, carry out targeted employment service special activities, and strive to solve the information asymmetry between regions and between enterprises and workers.

At the same time, vocational training should be strengthened to improve the pertinence and effectiveness of training.

In addition, efforts should be made to improve the employment environment. It is necessary to guide enterprises to establish and improve the normal wage growth mechanism and payment guarantee mechanism, retain personnel and stabilize their posts. Improve public services and help qualified migrant workers gradually integrate into cities. Is there really a shortage of labor?

After I came to Suzhou, I found many human resources companies, which have been helping factories to recruit workers for a long time. I don't know why factories use those intermediary companies instead of recruiting themselves. Is there really a "labor shortage" in China, a populous country?

In fact, the "labor shortage" does not exist at all, but there should be a "slave labor shortage". Why can't many factories recruit people even though they are recruiting all the year round? Because their working conditions are too harsh and their pay is too low.

I often work shifts and stay up all month. Only state-owned enterprises and institutions can guarantee normal holidays, while some private factories have to go to work as usual, and there is no holiday subsidy for going to work.

More importantly, after entering the factory, there is almost no time to spend with my family. Apart from the more than ten days of Chinese New Year, isn't this a recruitment of "slave workers"?

Most workers work in three shifts or two shifts, and they have to work overtime. It is also common for managers to cooperate with their bosses to punish workers.

Workers have no right to speak at all, and there are no bad employment conditions such as double holidays, which is the real reason why fewer and fewer people are willing to enter the factory now. Even if you have no choice but to enter the factory, you may carry a bucket and run away at any time.

Under their personal qualities, some private bosses have never looked down on migrant workers, thinking that they are the saviors, and only they can support these workers, just as workers will be frozen and hungry if they leave their factories.

It can only be said that such a boss is an obvious villain who is rich at first, and he simply lacks in-depth understanding of the workers' families, thinking that he is the only one with good living conditions and deep pockets.

The workers are still living before liberation. It's hard to work every day, with ugly words and faces. I feel that a worker's salary is like cutting his meat. Do you really think that you can't live without a worker?

Of course, whether it is "labor shortage" or "slave labor shortage", it certainly exists not only in Suzhou, but also in developed coastal areas.

Western countries have experienced a century-long socialized mass production, and the accumulated experience and lessons can't be ignored. However, this practice of learning only bad and not learning well seems to be rich in benefits, but in fact it is endless! Netizens think so.
