Labor Shortage Is Ahead Of Labor Intensive Industries.

"2011 spring festival is coming, warmly welcome your spouse, friends from home to come to the company before and after the Spring Festival.

In mid January, a listed company in Foshan, Guangdong, produced such a "tender heart".

Behind the tender advertisement is the eagerness of recruiting people.

At the end of the year, recruitment difficulties were found in some parts of the Pearl River Delta. With the pressure of rising raw material prices and the declining efficiency of enterprises, many small and medium-sized enterprises were suffering from the superimposed "cold wave" in the cold wind.

"

At the beginning of the new year, the successive cold wave brought about a rare cold and cold weather in the Pearl River Delta region, and some people worried that it would be difficult for them to go home early.

In ShenZhen Railway Station, the tension of tickets arrived ahead of schedule. The long-distance tickets before January 15th were basically sold out in January 10th.

Guangzhou Railway Station square has been waiting for long queues for many days after new year's day.

"The last time there was an ice disaster, I couldn't buy a ticket and didn't go home."

Liu Cai, a Hubei lady who is queuing up to buy tickets at Guangzhou Railway Station, told reporters.

During the new year's day, reporters visited Yonghe Development Zone in Guangzhou and found that there was much less deserted than usual.

From the downtown area of Guangzhou to Yonghe Development Zone, the reporters saw 8 construction sites, of which only one was under construction.

"Some people are worried that the cold wave will intensify and they can not buy tickets, and the Spring Festival is relatively earlier than in previous years." labor shortage "appeared earlier this year.

The boss of flying eagle office told reporters.

"Most of the workers who came back during the Asian Games were not coming back, but the situation was even more intense for a month before the holidays. Now we can't find anyone with the list."

The construction industry is "injured" in the "labor shortage", and it is also a "difficult fellow" in the labor intensive catering industry and clothing industry.

In the town Industrial Road, which is concentrated by garment enterprises in Humen Town, Dongguan, almost all garment enterprises have posted notices of recruitment.

The reporter saw that there were only twenty workers in seventy or eighty workshops of an enterprise.

In Guangzhou Baiyun District West Cha Road, 90% small restaurant at the door of the job advertisement.

Many enterprises are making "labor shortage", and those who are looking for jobs are not "panic".

"No hurry. Let's find out first."

In the southern Guangdong talent market in Baiyun District of Guangzhou, Huang Biao, a Hunan boy who chose jobs before the booth, said: "now there are many new factories near our hometown. Finding jobs is much easier than before. I just want to come to Guangzhou to see if there is any better opportunity for development."

A lot of companies are worried about "labor shortage" after the start of the year.

In January 10th, tickets for the Spring Festival pportation began. Wang Jianping, the head of the administrative department of the chord garment factory in Changan town of Dongguan, began to book tickets for the staff. "More than 300 people away from home have already left. The more than 100 people left now are all closer to home. They are willing to work until the end of the month if they are sure to have tickets."

Wang Jianping said.

Helping employees buy tickets for Spring Festival pportation has become a "means" for many enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region.

According to statistics from Guangzhou Railway Group, as of January 9th, 3540 enterprises have booked 650 thousand group tickets for Spring Festival travel, including 590 thousand before the festival, and 60 thousand return tickets in Hunan area after the holidays.

Under the severe employment situation, the way of attracting people is not only limited to raising wages, but also helping to buy tickets.

Some companies have advertised "welfare treatment" in the column. Enterprises emphasize the "free air-conditioned couple room or dormitory and Internet cafe, Cara OK hall, billiard room and other entertainment facilities".

Hard work and little money, the attractiveness of the labor intensive industries, such as the catering industry, is declining for young people.

In some restaurants in Baiyun District of Guangzhou, reporters found that more and more middle-aged and old people were in their faces.

In a Liuyang steamed restaurant in Tong Xi village, the two attendants are Chen Feng's mother-in-law and aunt.

"All the former attendants have gone, and now only two elderly people should be in urgent need. If we can't recruit them here, we can only go back to their homes in the new year."

Chen Feng pointed to the recruitment notice at the door.

For enterprises, the more horrible thing may be that employees are reluctant to come after the Spring Festival.

"We most welcome the thirty or forty year old husband and wife worker."

Fu Yong, director of production at Shenzhen Hepu hardware factory, said, "such employees are relatively stable and can stay."

"Nowadays, many enterprises offer introductory fees, reward employees to introduce relatives and townsmen to work.

Some companies have commissioned me to return to a "fellow townsman" when I am in the new year, but I am not confident enough.

Said Eagle boss.

Three or four years ago, the strict management of enterprises was unwilling to recruit the "old folks" and "family members". They were afraid of getting together and being disobedient and easy to make trouble. Now the "labor shortage" is becoming more and more serious. The more employees come, the better.

Luo boss explained.

Recruitment difficulties have become normal. Enterprises need long-term response.

"We have gone to more than 10 people in our factory. We all fear that we can not buy the tickets for the Spring Festival pportation. We must go back to the new year ahead of schedule, and the plan for expanding the scale can only be placed after the Spring Festival."

Fu Yong said, "compared with other enterprises, we are pretty good, because in the middle of the year, we raised the minimum wage by 200 yuan / month, up to 1800 yuan / month."

Recruitment difficulties have become normal, and they are still spreading to the middle and early stages of the year, which is a long-term challenge for labor-intensive enterprises.

"This year's cold wave is only an occasional factor and there is no cold wave," said Wu Yi, a professor of Guangdong University of Business in the Pearl River Delta region.

The rise of raw materials and the decline in the profits of enterprise orders have led to the low economic returns and insufficient attractiveness of enterprises, which is the fundamental reason for the early return of migrant workers.

The pressure of small and medium-sized enterprises is becoming more and more important.

"Wages have gone up, and our cost pressures have been very large. Bottom line wages plus piecework wages are now 3000 yuan a month for ordinary workers."

Fu Yong said.

A lot of struggling enterprises sprouted.

"To support this month, it is really not possible to move the factory back to Sichuan's hometown, and the cost is much lower."

Chen Bo, boss of Guangzhou Tengfei garment factory, said helplessly.

No progress is backward.

Wu Yi believes that not only is it difficult to recruit workers, the value added of SMEs is low, bargaining power is weak, and competition is obviously underpowered.

For enterprises, either pformation and upgrading, increasing machines to replace labor, increasing brand value, or pferring to the Midwest, but the difficulty of pfer is also very large.

"From a positive point of view, this is also a historical opportunity to push down industrial upgrading. Relevant departments should pay attention to the problem of labor drain and break down, and also introduce measures to guide the pformation and upgrading of enterprises."

Wu Yi said
