1、Coexistence of Employment Difficulty and Labor ShortageOn the one hand, enterprise is difficult to recruit suitable staff, on the other hand, job seekers are facing unprecedented employment pressure.The contradictory phenomenon is existing in many big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
2、 The first is employment difficulty. According to data released by Human Resources and Social Security at the end of February, Chinese college graduates in 2016 reached 7.65 million, increased 160000 when compared to last year, hit a record high. And secondary vocational graduates and high school st
3、udents no longer continue studies after graduation is also about the quantity. And together with youth employment groups, the total number is about 1.5 million. Relevant official says, “The employment pressure is very big”. At the same time, our reporter through various channels to learn that, after
4、 the Spring Festival, some industries such as logistics, housekeeping, food and beverage, and construction, still facing labor shortage though increased salary. According to the latest survey data released by a recruitment site, Guangdong, which have the most immigrant workers, is facing 46% labor s
5、hortage, among it, talent gap of warehousing logistics and domestic cleaning is the largest. Labor Shortage After the Spring Festival, many areas are facing labor shortage. A director of domestic brand chain store said, “After the Spring Festival, a lot of people come to apply for a job in our store
6、, but their expectations are high, and its hard to find excellent talents.” A director of hot pot chain store in Hebei said, “Taking our store for an example, our waiters salary now is less than 3,000 yuan, increased not much when compared to last year, but still increased 100200 yuan. They work for
7、 9 hours, all teenagers. They left either for low salary or just cant bear,therefore, we always hiring people.” According to a report submitted by , in 2016, labor shortage in Beijing reached to 52%, in Shanghai reached to 44%, in Guangzhou reached to 28%, and in Chengdu reached to 7%. At the same t
8、ime, employment difficulty also exists. According to data released by Human Resources and Social Security in 29th, February, Chinese college graduates in 2016 reached 7.65 million, increased 160000 when compared to last year, hit a record high. And secondary vocational graduates and high school stud
9、ents no longer continue studies after graduation is also about the quantity. And together with youth employment groups, the total number is about 1.5 million. Relevant official says, “The employment pressure is very big”. Human Resources and Social Security also points out, apart from that, the laid
10、-off problem caused by dissolving excess capacity and enterprises labor shortage due to the bigger economic downward pressure also have a pressure on employment difficulty. Expert: The contradiction has relations with slow industrial transformation and upgrading. For the current domestic situation o
11、f employment, Yi Weimin, minister of Human Resources and Social Security recently said, “The current economic situation at home and abroad is very complex, therefore in 2016, the employment situation is relatively complex, and the task is arduous. The structural contradictionMismatch between supply
12、and demand is still outstanding.” According to one of Chinas economist Ma Guangyuan, “labor shortage” reflects the speed of some industrial transformation and upgrading do not keep up with the speed of Chinas economic development. He said, “Some enterprises upgrade slowly, the salary they offered is
13、 not higher than other enterprises, therefore, they find its hard to hire a right person.” In addition, the coexistence of “labor shortage” and “employment difficulty” may have relation with young peoples new employment outlook. Li Rui, third year students of Chengdu College of China University of E
14、lectronic Science, starts to plan the employment problem at the beginning of this year. He told our reporter, “ I think its not hard to find a job as long as Im not too picky. But if I cant find a suitable job, I would choose to further my study. When choosing a job, it mainly depends on the cultiva
15、tion of learning ability, salary is the second factor that I would consider.” Talents in which industries are most popular? Under the condition of mismatch between supply and demand, talents in which industries are most popular? It is reported that blue-collar talents in industries such as logistics
16、 and housekeeping are most popular. Taking Shandong as an example, according to report released on , employment gap in Shandong reached to 56%, among it, logistics/warehouse, housekeeping/cleaning/security, catering and Taobao position have larger gap, reached to more than 70% on average. Guangdong,
17、 owning the largest population of immigrant workers, has 46% employment gap, among it, housekeeping/ cleaning, real estate medium, logistics/warehouse have larger employment gap, all reached to more than 50%. On the other hand, from the pay rise, we can also know which industries are most popular. B
18、ecause industry which has a big pay rise, mainly results from short supply. According to a report released by at the end of February, with the fast development of E-business and O2O, currently, couriers average salary has reached to 7000 yuan, but awkwardly, at the same time, courier has the larges
19、t employment gap in China. According to data released by , in Guangdong, industries such as pharmaceutical/biotechnology, advanced management, property management have increased salary to 3000 yuan when compared to that in 2015. Other industries such as law, hospitality/tourism, construction, food a
20、nd beverage also increased salary. The above data also shows that compared to 2015, in Beijing, the three industries which have the biggest salary rise are senior management, law, and hospital/medical; in Shanghai are senior management, property management, and construction; in Guangzhou are buildin
21、g, edit/ publishing and sales. Survey: only 5.1% employees would not find a new job. Analyzing the above data, it is not difficult to find that, most urgently required talents are mainly in logistics, housekeeping and construction, for example, courier and construction worker. All these are blue-col
22、lar talents. Then, what about white-collar talents? According to a survey carried out by , in this Spring, 11.4% white-collar workers have left old position and start a new job; more than half white-collar workers have updated their resume and start to find a new job; 29.1% whitecollar workers only
23、have the thought of job-hopping; only 5.1% white-collar workers definitely would not quit their job and find a new one. Ms zhang, who worked in a state-owned enterprise in Beijing has found a new job after the Spring Festival. She told our reporter that when choosing a new job, she would consider he
24、r hobby, and focus on the cultivation of learning ability. But she would not change her industry. In terms of the change of industry, would university students chose blue-collar job? Li Rui said that he would consider it, after all, currently, blue-collar workers earns not less than white-collar wor
25、kers, and being a skilled labor is not a bad idea. But he also said, “If I change the industry, I would prefer to internet industry.” As for the choosing of industry, the survey carried out by points out that business confidence index of industries such as IT/communication/electronic/Internet is much higher than other industries; business confidence index of industries such as energy/mineral/environmental protection is lower, employees in these industries are most likely to find a new job.
