The difficulty of recruiting workers in textile enterprises is coming back!
When the unemployment rate has reached a new low in recent years and the largest number of jobs have been created, it is normal for recruitment difficulties to occur. In recent years, the working-age population has fallen by several million every year, which has reduced the supply of labor, but the economy is still growing steadily and there is a great demand for labor. Wenzhou, Wuhan and other places have transferred a large number of business orders due to the increase in land and labor costs. According to his calculation, the current gap in Qianjiang's clothing industry is about 100,000, and it is difficult to recruit people with a monthly salary of 4,000 to 7,000 yuan. Qianjiang is planning to build the largest garment OEM base in Central China and even in the country. The garment industry workers in Hubei and Central China will be concentrated for production. This will solve the problem of factory land and employment. 'Qianjiang now rewards the introducer with 2000 yuan as long as it recruits a garment worker and can work for a year.' Zhang Yaping said, in order to solve the shortage of talents, various methods have been used. Qianjiang garment industry is a microcosm of the shortage of labor and the increasing difficulty of recruiting all over the country this year. According to multiple survey reports released by the Statistics Bureau of Hubei, Anhui and other places, it is more difficult to recruit workers in the first half of this year. In the first half of this year, 72.3% of enterprises in Anhui had difficulties in recruiting workers. In the second quarter of Hubei, 58.8% of service industry enterprises above designated size believed that there were difficulties in recruiting workers. In the first half of the year, 77.8% of enterprises lacked jobs in Sichuan. A survey by the Shanghai Fengxian District Statistics Bureau found that more than 70% of enterprises believe that there are problems with rising labor costs and difficulty in recruiting workers. Surveys in various regions show that the difficulty of employment has increased, which is related to the current employment situation entering the best period in history. According to data from the Human Resources Department, in the second quarter of this year, the recruitment rate in the human resources market was 1.23, an increase of 0.12 year-on-year, the highest in history. In the first half of this year, there were 7.52 million new jobs in urban areas, an increase of 170,000 year-on-year, and the number of all employed persons continued to record highs. The labor-age population in China has dropped from 940.72 million in 2011 to 901.99 million in 2017, a decrease of nearly 40 million. When the young population of the labor force continues to decline, the number of employed people continues to increase, which reflects that employment has entered a full stage. Gao Wenxue, director of the Human Resources Research Office of the Institute of Population Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that it is normal for recruitment difficulties to occur when the unemployment rate has reached a new low in recent years and the largest number of jobs have been created. In recent years, the working-age population has fallen by several million every year, which has reduced the supply of labor, but the economy is still growing steadily and there is a great demand for labor. 'Many provincial capital cities have launched robbing wars to attract young people to find jobs. This has made the supply and demand relationship between labor forces in many less advantageous cities tight.' He said. The number of employed people hit a record high in recent years. The so-called full employment means that under a certain wage level, those who are willing to work have obtained job opportunities. The reality is that the nationwide unemployment rate has reached a record low for many years, and both the number of employed persons and the rate of job offer have reached the highest levels in history. Lai Desheng, dean of the School of Economics and Business Administration of Beijing Normal University, pointed out that the current working-age population continues to decline, but the number of employed people continues to increase, which shows that the labor participation rate is increasing. 'For example, in the past many years, many people have retired early and stopped working. They are now returning to hire. This reflects the current good employment situation.' He pointed out that the current good employment situation is not only related to the declining working-age population, but rural areas are also developing rapidly. Rural revitalization has created a large number of employment opportunities. In the past, the increase in urban migrant workers mainly depended on the rural areas, but now there are fewer transfers. At the same time, the number of retirees in the country is several million each year, and the vacated positions need to be filled. In the first half of this year, there are 18,100 registered enterprises in the country every day. . According to data from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, at the end of the second quarter of this year, the nationwide registered unemployment rate in cities and towns was 3.83%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.12 percentage points and the lowest level since 2002. According to a survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics, the nationwide urban survey unemployment rate was below 5% for three consecutive months, and it was 4.8% in June, which is the lowest level since the survey was conducted in 2016. In addition, the labor demand rate in the second quarter of this year was 1.23, an increase of 0.12 year-on-year. That is, every job seeker is faced with 1.23 positions, which is also the highest in history. From the perspective of the total number of employment, the growth is even more rapid. For example, in 1952, the number of employees nationwide was 207 million, and in 2007 it was 776.4 million, a record high. This year, it continued to increase. In the first half of the year, a total of 7.52 million new urban jobs were created, an increase of 170,000 over the same period last year. At present, the important sign of the full stage of employment is that as long as one is willing to work, there will be employment opportunities. Take the clothing industry as an example. Around 2010, employees in Wuhan, Hubei Province had only a salary of about 3,000 yuan. At present, the overall salary of the industry has risen to about 5,000 yuan. Good employees even get tens of thousands of monthly salaries, but it is difficult to recruit. The same is true in Qianjiang, a city under the direct administration of Hubei Province. Zhang Yaping, secretary general of the Qianjiang Clothing Association of Hubei, told reporters that why there are more jobs, higher incomes, and difficulty in recruiting workers? This is related to the lack of employees. For example, the current monthly salary of Qianjiang clothing workers is around 4000-7000 yuan, but it is difficult to recruit people. The actual number of employees has decreased by tens of thousands in recent years.
