The Labor Shortage Of Wenzhou Footwear Enterprises Reached A New "Height" In 2011.

The word "demand exceeds supply" in February 14th is beyond description of Wenzhou's current situation.

Raise wages do not increase popularity

February 11th is the nine day of the beginning of the month, the third day after the opening of the centre.

In previous years, the "busy traffic" Vocational center seemed to be somewhat "cold in front of the car and sparse in horses".

Several employment agencies in the field are loosely surrounded by job seekers, asking questions about their treatment.

On the screen of employment demand in the lobby, all kinds of employment information are displayed repeatedly.

Compared with previous years, the treatment given by employers this year has been generally improved compared with previous years.

According to the data, the average wage of general practitioners reached 1810 yuan this year, compared with 1548 in the same period last year, up 262 yuan, up nearly 17% compared with the same period last year.

According to the data provided by the job center, the number of people in the center was around three thousand yesterday, and the number of job seekers was 209, compared with 5000 people in the same period last year, and 396 job seekers.

According to the survey, migrant workers who live in the new year accounted for a large proportion of the migrant workers who came to apply for jobs.

Returning home has become a major cause of labor shortage.

In the hall, the reporter immediately interviewed a job seeker Huang Yang.

Huang Yang from Jiangxi has been working in Wenzhou for five years. He worked in a shoe factory last year and worked as a general worker on the assembly line, with a salary of around 2000 yuan.

"If I can't find more than 2500 yuan of wages, I'll go back to my hometown, and make 2000 in Wenzhou a month, rather than make 1500 in my hometown."

Huang said that in recent years, living in Wenzhou has been very exhausting, and the cost of rents and meals has basically been limited to only a few hundred dollars.

Huang said his village had added a lot of Taiwanese capital in recent years.

As a matter of fact, Wenzhou is a system.

According to statistics, since 2004, the phenomenon of shortage of migrant workers in Wenzhou has opened.

With the economic development in central and western regions and the optimization of employment environment, more and more workers choose to return home. This phenomenon has led to the reduction of migrant workers in coastal areas, including Wenzhou.

The active output of labour force has become the past tense.

Since 2005, the Wenzhou vocational and technical center has established seventeen labor export bases in the densely populated areas of central and Western China, such as Xianyang, Shaanxi. These personnel have played a huge role in supplying Wenzhou's labor resources, but to this day, the effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

"Now these areas are not enough labor force, where there is surplus to Wenzhou".

Wang Ouxiang, deputy director of the office of Wenzhou vocational and technical center, said that in the past, these bases would take the initiative to contact the Labor Department of Wenzhou, hoping to accept the surplus labor resources of the other side, but now this initiative has become more and more rare.

Similar to this situation, the Labor Department of Shaoxing and Chongqing labor department in the province hope that the other side can provide convenience for labor supply, but they have been declined. The reasons are basically the same, and the local labor force is also lacking. Chongqing authorities and even Shaoxing departments can facilitate the return of migrant workers from Chongqing.

Wang Ouxiang believes that with the economic development of the central and western regions, the demand gap for employment in Wenzhou will be bigger and bigger.

There will be more and more difficulties ahead of the Wenzhou job center.

According to the arrangement, after ten of the beginning of the month, the recruitment center will hold a public welfare recruitment fair the next day to provide more communication platform for enterprises and workers. Besides this waiting for recruiting way, organizing the "going out" recruitment of enterprises is still an invariable tradition every year.

Over the past two years, the center has organized dozens of enterprises to go to remote areas such as Qinghai's Yuan Yuan county to recruit workers, although there are only hundreds of workers coming to Wenzhou.

Labor shortage is still a major problem in Wenzhou.
