Recruitment Is Difficult To Spread Nationwide &Nbsp; &Nbsp; Labor Export Large Province Is Also "Scarce".

After the Spring Festival, Southeast Coast

In the Midwest, labor-intensive industries are gradually increasing and labor costs in southeastern coastal areas are rising.

This year, "labor shortage" came earlier and fiercely.

The gap is more frequent than in previous years.

"This year's recruitment of some enterprises is difficult," labor shortage "phenomenon, earlier than in previous years, and will go late.

Chang Mengchen, general manager of Shanghai Tian Du Human Resources Inc, who runs many years' human resources business in the Yangtze River Delta, said.

At present, the shortage of labor in part of enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta is once again "on schedule".

The company manages more than 8000 migrant workers, but at the end of last year, about 800 people left.

At present, quite a few of the more than 100 enterprise customers are in urgent need.

Chou Yujian, director of Shanghai new Kun ho career agency, told reporters that since the Spring Festival, 30 units have registered to recruit 20 jobs and demand about 10000 people. The number of job applicants coming to register is around 3000, with a shortfall of about 7000 people.

"Recruitment units are eager to work, the demand is large manufacturing workers.

If an electronics factory in Songjiang District needs to recruit 5000 front-line workers, only 2000 people can be recruited at the moment.

In addition, many enterprises are in urgent need of welders, and generally can only recruit 1/10 of total demand.

Chou Yujian said.

In Kunshan, where export processing enterprises are concentrated, enterprises suffering from labor shortage are also everywhere.

Kunshan Ren Bao computer industry Co., Ltd., director of human resources, said that at present, Ren Bao computer has about 40 thousand employees in Kunshan, and 50%-60% employees are migrant workers.

Before the Spring Festival, many employees returned home.

At present, the number of front-line workers in the company is about 5000, and the number of skilled workers is 40-50.

In the early January, a survey of labor demand in spring started by the labor department in Baoan District, Shenzhen. 475 of the 523 companies surveyed said they had to recruit workers after the Spring Festival and 153 thousand new recruits.

According to the Labor Department of Baoan District, the labor gap in Baoan District is around 200 thousand.

Promise superior conditions and expand labor force competition

In the face of "recruitment difficulties", most enterprises began to raise salaries, hoping to recruit people as soon as possible.

Shenzhen talent market survey shows that 71% of the participating units offer salary increase compared with the same period last year.

Similarly, journalists in Foshan and Shunde found that the minimum wage provided by the labor service center here is about 1500 yuan, a substantial increase over last year.

The wages paid by enterprises generally increased by about 20%.

Dalang Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, is an important base for the world's wool weaving industry.

Just after the Spring Festival holiday, reporters in Xiangshan industrial town of Dalang saw that many factories had posted banners or posted notices in front of them.

Many companies offer such conditions as bags, bags and monthly salary of two thousand yuan.

Some companies promise not only to provide free room and board, but also year-end bonus, paid annual leave, paid wedding leave, birthday bonus, social insurance and so on.

The manager of the recruitment department of Dongguan Taizhou textile products Co., Ltd., told reporters that the recruitment conditions offered by the factory even included reimbursement of return tickets, and promised new and skilled workers to raise salaries by 300 yuan and 500 yuan respectively, but even so, the company is still in a state of frequent labor shortage.

The situation in Dongguan is more common in the Pearl River Delta region. Zhang Baoying, director of human resources market in Guangzhou, recently interviewed by Xinhua news agency, said that at present, the rate of seeking business in Guangzhou is about 1.36:1, that is, each job seeker has 1.36 vacancies.

There are more jobs than workers, and the structural shortage of labor is obvious.

Reporters recently interviewed in ShangHai Railway Station, vocational posts and other places found that the reflux of migrant workers in recent days there is an increasing trend.

But some intermediary officials told reporters that last year, some enterprises migrant workers were faster, some enterprises in the first half of the year can basically achieve a balance; and from the past few days, this year, many enterprises fill labor gap to fill more difficult, longer cycle, the situation is not optimistic.

Recruitment is difficult to spread, and labor exporting large province is also "scarce".

Labor shortage has further spread to Anhui, Henan and other traditional migrant workers.

According to the data released by the Anhui Provincial Department of human resources and social security, as of the end of 2010, there were more than 50 enterprises with more than 2300 workers in Anhui, and the total number of workers working in the province reached 250 thousand.

After the Spring Festival this year, the province's enterprises also plan to recruit more than 25 people.

"Before going to Anhui, Henan and other secondary technical schools to recruit people, schools often put up banners at the school gate, and wrote," warmly welcome Shanghai enterprises to recruit people in our school ".

These two years no longer have such a "treatment", because many local employers are also trying to grab people.

What Chang Mengchen said is a good example.

Recently, reporters at the two labor export conference held in Qinan county and Longxi County of Gansu province's labor export big county, saw that the average monthly wages of the enterprises who joined the recruitment were between 2500 yuan and 3000 yuan, a large increase over the previous years.

Nevertheless, these enterprises have been treated with cold reception. Some companies have not even recruited a worker.

Raising wages makes it difficult for small businesses to bear cost pressures.

However, higher wages and more commitments mean higher cost and investment for labor-intensive enterprises.

Zhang Weidong, who runs two precision hardware manufacturing enterprises in Kunshan, Guangdong and Dongguan, told reporters that in recent two years, in order to ensure the normal operation of the enterprise, the wages he paid to the workers has been getting higher and higher in Guangdong.

"Before the completion of 1 million yuan output value is about 80 thousand yuan to pay, now has risen to 120 thousand yuan, 50% of the wage cost increase for those of us who rely mainly on the cost of labor to win the small business pressure is already too big to bear."

The Guangdong Provincial Department of human resources and social security has announced that the minimum wage standard for Guangdong workers will increase by 18.6% on average from March 1st, and Guangzhou's standard will increase to 1300 yuan per month, the highest in the country.

Although the wages of most enterprises have already been far higher than the minimum wage standards of cities, the increase of minimum wage means the increase of overtime pay and social insurance payment base, which also means a sharp rise in costs for enterprises.

Some workers indicated that the minimum wage standards were sharply raised everywhere, and they were asked to improve their treatment.

In addition, rising wages have also led to a surge in wages for many migrant workers.

On the other hand, with the demand for quality of life of young labor force in China, it is still difficult for employees to meet the expectations of employees even if they take the initiative to raise salaries.

Enterprise Countermeasures

"Do everything possible" to recruit people only

Orders are increasing and workers are losing. After the Spring Festival, recruitment difficulties and labor shortage have caused many enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta to have a "headache."

In order to alleviate contradictions, enterprises have adopted "thirty-six plans".

The main conclusions are as follows:

Raise salary for "up plan"

According to the survey data in Shanghai, the wage factor accounted for 58.8% of the total number of workers leaving in 2010.

It can be seen that the treatment of workers directly or indirectly can hitch the hearts of employees to a certain extent.

Lu Shanfeng, a recruitment officer of Jiangsu gouten Engineering Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., told reporters that last year it had raised 10% wages to its employees. At present, the monthly salary of general practitioners is around 3000 yuan, and the company also arranges training for new employees.

This reporter has learned that at present, the monthly salary of some container drivers in the Yangtze River Delta has risen to 4000 yuan, and some auto repair workers at 1500 yuan -3000 yuan, and the comprehensive wage of the courier can reach 2500 yuan.

"Winter vacation"

During the Spring Festival, enterprises faced with serious labor shortage, recruited a group of "winter vacation workers" from the technical secondary schools and technical schools to solve urgent problems.

Chang Mengchen, general manager of Shanghai Tian Du Human Resources Inc, said that a company engaged in the production of mobile phone wires to fill the gap in employment during the Spring Festival specially commissioned Tian Du company to recruit a group of "winter vacation workers" from Henan, Shangqiu, Pingdingshan and other places of secondary and technical school students for a period of one month.

Reporters learned that Shanghai, Minhang, Fengxian and other manufacturing enterprises have temporarily recruited many technical school student workers, before the appointment.

Soon after the school starts, the "winter vacation" is about to return to school from the factory, and some enterprises will have a shortage of manpower in the production line again.

Encourage "fellow townsman to bring people"

A person in charge of a catering enterprise in Xuhui District, Shanghai, told reporters that the hotel attendants are very tight now. The company always uses the way of "fellow townsman to bring the townsman" to replenish employees.

If each old employee brings a fellow townsman to work in a restaurant and works for three months, he will give the old employee 200 yuan -300 yuan / person's incentive fee.

Many human resources intermediaries have adopted such a way to expand recruitment.

However, some job seekers told reporters that migrant workers often went out to work together with their relatives and friends, and the "villagers chain" was close. But in recent years, the number of "80" and "post-90s" in migrant workers increased significantly, and there were some single children.

Adding "service age wages"

This year, the flying group of Jinhua, Zhejiang has set up a "working age wage". After that, the staff will increase their wage of 120 yuan per year according to their seniority.

Reporters learned that private enterprises voluntarily set up the "service age wage" system, which first appeared in some enterprises in Ningbo.

Two years ago, Xinyang electrical appliance company of Ningbo took the lead in the implementation of the service age wage system, making the turnover rate less than 3%, far below the 20% level in the industry.

At present, the length of service wage system has been imitated by some enterprises in Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Playing the "tender card"

Zhu Xueqin, chairman of the trade union of Shanghai Hua RI clothing company, said that in order to retain more migrant workers, the company paid 200 yuan to 300 yuan per person for starting a red envelope, and overtime fees also rose. "Money is on the one hand, and more importantly, employees should feel the warmth and sincerity of the company".

Reporters interviewed in the Yangtze River Delta found that in recent years, many enterprises have built dormitories for employees, set up basketball courts, swimming pools and other facilities, increase organized tourism and entertainment activities, and even pay for the relatives of relatives who come to visit relatives on Christmas holidays.

These methods of recruiting and retaining people can give enterprises a "relief" to a certain extent.

But many business executives told reporters that the minimum wage standards and social insurance costs are facing upward adjustment this year, the cost of labor may increase by about 30%, and the cost of raw materials is also rising, with limited profit margins, and the space for enterprises to raise salaries for employees has become smaller and smaller.

Hot spot Perspective

Analysis of the underlying reasons behind "labor shortage"

Why is labor so stressful? Superficially, this is related to the revival of foreign trade demand and the increase of orders for a number of export-oriented enterprises, resulting in the shortage of labor force.

But there are more profound reasons for the continuous recruitment difficulties and labor shortage.

According to the analysis of the insiders, this is a concentrated reflection of the contradiction between the structural change of labor demand and the relative shortage of supply in the background of economic restructuring in coastal areas in recent years. It is also the inevitable result of the low proportion of labor remuneration in the initial distribution and the rise of the cost of living in cities. It is also related to the rapid economic development, employment opportunities and salary increase in many provinces and cities in mainland China, which have caused migrant workers to return home.

Therefore, with the acceleration of the process of industrial adjustment and pfer and the weakening of comparative advantage among regions, the shortage of labor resources in some areas will continue to exist for a period of time.

The end of labor unlimited supply Era

Zhang Weiguo, director of the Institute of Economic Research of the Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, said: "at present, China has entered the middle and late stage of industrialization. The service industry has been quickening up in the industrial structure, and the rural labor force has shifted to industry. The long term depressed labor force income is not sustainable.

There are indications that the turning point of Lewis has arrived, and the era of unlimited supply of labor has ended.

At present, many economists in China have published similar views.

The so-called Lewis turning point, that is, the turning point from surplus to shortage, means that in the process of industrialization, with the gradual pfer of surplus rural labor to non-agricultural industries, the surplus labor force in rural areas is gradually reduced and eventually dried up.

This theory is put forward by Nobel laureate Lewis in the population mobility model.

After the end of unlimited labor supply, China's labor market began to enter the era of stock labor competition.

When the surplus labor force is exhausted and the labor force increment is limited, the industries must compete in the established labor force. The redistribution of labor force due to the change of productivity among different industries may become the norm, and the frictional unemployment will inevitably be brought about.

Long term pay is far from enough to meet demand.

Recently, reporters at some job fairs held in Ji'nan saw that the college students who had a lot of recommended materials were still the main job seekers. Some students said that it was more difficult to find a satisfactory job. Generally, undergraduates could meet 1500 yuan a month after their life.

But in the labor market, there are quite different situations.

Some migrant workers pay more than 100 yuan / day, and they are full of confidence in finding jobs and full of expectations for rising wages.

Reporters found that the new generation of migrant workers and the first generation of migrant workers have different employment preferences, they tend to work less labor and relatively comfortable work environment.

When labor remuneration in the initial distribution is low for a long time and the cost of living in cities has risen sharply and rigidly, it is no wonder that migrant workers who are returning to work have asked their boss to raise their salaries compared with their fellow countrymen living in their hometown.

Agricultural income and left behind children retain some migrant workers

Reporters interviewed in rural Shandong found that in addition to going out to work, many people chose to grow vegetables or raise pigs and cattle at home, sometimes doing odd jobs in nearby factories.

In recent years, it has been the increase in the state's policy of benefiting agriculture and the rising price of agricultural products, which has made the attraction of agriculture more attractive to the labor force, and more farmers began to choose to stay in their hometown to start their own businesses.

In addition, with the echelon pfer of East and West industries in China, the competition between the East and the west of the labour force is particularly evident this year.

It is not uncommon for the eastern enterprises to bring their own buses to the villages to pick up people. Some enterprises such as Sichuan, Anhui, Hunan and some other labor exporting provinces also have different levels of recruitment difficulties.

The pfer of labor between eastern and western regions leads to the "interception" of labor force, which has become one of the reasons for the shortage of migrant workers in eastern China.

In addition, the reporter visited Henan Anhui found that the left behind children problem is one of the main reasons why many migrant workers are reluctant to go out again.

Some migrant workers have realized the serious problems caused by left behind children and have begun to take action.

According to the survey data of the all China Federation of women, there are about 58 million left behind children in rural areas in the country, of whom 40 million are left behind children under 14 years old, and nearly 30% left behind parents are out of work for more than 5 years.

For many left behind children, mom and dad are the voice on the phone, the lack of long-term family ties and the ineffective management. The problem of left behind children has caused serious concern among migrant workers.

Expert weapon

It is better to give money subsidies than to create a "soft environment for people."

The increasing shortage of labor is like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it will squeeze the enterprise's production and operation profits and increase the cost burden, but on the other hand, it will force the enterprise to improve the efficiency of labor, turn to the high value-added industry with less labor and higher output rate, and then promote the upgrading and progress of the whole industry.

Yu Hongsheng, director of the research center of the urbanization development center of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the government should actively take the "labor shortage" and create a "soft environment for the people to stay".

Using "service advantage" to hedge "wage disadvantage"

In September last year, more than 1200 migrant workers were surveyed in Baoshan District, Shanghai.

According to the survey, 75.9% of job seekers in Shanghai are under 35 years old; 79.8% of all respondents are concerned about their job prospects; 57% of them require training and 36.3% of them require training from the government.

Yu Hongsheng believes that the government should not directly use the means of financial subsidies to help enterprises suffering from labor shortage. Instead, we should start with upgrading the "soft environment" and speed up the coverage of migrant workers, such as medical, education, training and other public resources, which is actually enhancing the attraction of enterprises.

The advantage of public resources in coastal areas is more obvious, which is more attractive to young migrant workers who are more concerned about the development.

Breaking the "information barrier" of job hunting for migrant workers

Li Ying, Minister of administration and personnel of Shanghai blue cloud Cleaning Co., Ltd., told reporters that recruitment often found that there were "no one to work" and "no one to work" at the same time.

Companies run around the streets, communities, job agencies and so on four recruit people can not recruit, many migrant workers can not find work because of worry.

Reporters interviewed found that many job seekers knew nothing about the addresses and telephone numbers of government public placement agencies. Some government job agencies and related job fairs set up for migrant workers were often less popular because of "insufficient popularity".

The relevant departments should further strengthen the service consciousness and service ability of the labor and employment department, "walk out of the office building", go deep into the grass-roots line of enterprises and migrant workers' residential areas, and grasp the first-hand employment market information; at the same time, innovative measures should be taken to improve the arrival rate and effectiveness of employment information dissemination, so as to make the labor supply and demand sides fully "docking".

Using opportunity to boost industrial upgrading

A survey conducted by the labor force management office in Baoshan District, Shanghai, shows that 13.1% of the college graduates and above have been employed in Shanghai, and many of them have higher skills certificates.

The head of the agency said that the attraction of highly skilled talents in coastal areas is still outstanding.

Tracking surveys over the years show that the quality of job seekers in Shanghai has improved significantly in recent years, and their interests and job choices are changing. Some of the "high-quality migrant workers" who have better conditions tend to work in industries with good labor conditions and high rate of return on human resources.

Experts suggest that the relevant regions should further support and develop the second industries with high technology content and the newly emerging third industries, rationally absorb and guide foreign job seekers, and properly meet their job selection requirements.

In the process of dealing with the "outflow" part of the workforce, we should attract more high-quality and highly skilled labor force to "inflow".

Analysis of recruitment difficulties after the holidays: a new round of wage surge is expected to be strong http://www.sina.com.cn 2011, 02, 17, 15:30 Xinhua

In February 15th, many recruiters recruited workers in the human resources market in Yiwu, Zhejiang.

Xinhua net Ji'nan February 17th special telegram (reporter Lv Fuming, Yuan Junbao)

This year's "shortage of migrant workers" and "recruitment difficulties" are coming earlier and more fiercely than ever.

Industry experts believe that China's long-term oppressive labor income will usher in a turning point in its uplift. It is certain that the turning point of Lewis has arrived.

The end of labor supply is endless.

Just like the other young people in the village, Li Xueying, a farmer in Yushan town of Linshu County in Shandong Province, began to inquire about and find a more suitable place to work.

Li Xueying told reporters that more than 2/3 of young people in the village worked outside.

Because the labor force in the village is getting less and less, it is very difficult to find people to work in the countryside when farming is busy. It is not easy to find 40 yuan a day.

Reporters interviewed in rural Shandong found that in addition to going out to work, many people chose to grow vegetables or raise pigs and cattle at home, sometimes doing odd jobs in nearby factories.

Although the state grants large amounts of subsidies and preferential policies to the "three rural issues", farmers at home have no worries about food and clothing, but every labor force is striving to create value and strive to increase their incomes.

According to the statistics released by the National Bureau of statistics, the per capita net income of rural residents in China has increased by 10.9% in real terms in 2010, the first time since 1998, which is faster than that of urban residents, and the growth of wage income and net income of family operation is higher than that of GDP.

Zhang Weiguo, director of the Institute of economics, Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, said: "at present, China has entered the middle and late stage of industrialization. The service industry has been quickening up in the industrial structure, the rural labor force has accelerated to the industrial pfer, and the long-term depressed labor force income is not sustainable.

There are indications that the turning point of Lewis has arrived, and the era of unlimited supply of labor has ended.

At present, many economists in China have published similar views.

The so-called Lewis turning point, that is, the turning point from surplus to shortage, means that in the process of industrialization, with the gradual pfer of surplus rural labor to non-agricultural industries, the surplus labor force in rural areas is gradually reduced and eventually dried up.

This theory is put forward by Nobel laureate Lewis in the population mobility model.

After the end of unlimited labor supply, China's labor market began to enter the era of stock labor competition.

When the surplus labor force is exhausted and the labor force increment is limited, the industries must compete in the established labor force. The redistribution of labor force due to the change of productivity among different industries may become the norm, and the frictional unemployment will inevitably be brought about.

Lin Donghua, a researcher at the Institute of economics of the Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, said that the new generation of migrant workers demanded more comfortable and more secure working environment, increased agricultural production income, reclaimed part of the labor force, and pferred the industry to the central and western regions to intercept a large number of labor force. These phenomena mixed together, making this year's "labor shortage" more violent than ever.

The new round of wage surge is expected to be strong.

Recently, reporters at some job fairs held in Ji'nan saw that the college students who had a lot of recommended materials were still the main job seekers. Some students said that it was more difficult to find a satisfactory job. Generally, undergraduates could meet 1500 yuan a month after their life.

But in the labor market, there are quite different situations.

Some migrant workers pay more than 100 yuan / day, and they are full of confidence in finding jobs and full of expectations for rising wages.

Reporters found that the new generation of migrant workers and the first generation of migrant workers have different employment preferences, they tend to work less labor and relatively comfortable work environment.

At present, the structural employment contradiction shows that the labor force is differentiating from different industries according to working conditions.

With the cascade pfer of East and West industries in China, the competition between the East and the west of the labour force is particularly evident this year.

It is not uncommon for the eastern enterprises to bring their own buses to the villages to pick up people. Some enterprises such as Sichuan, Anhui, Hunan and some other labor exporting provinces also have different levels of recruitment difficulties.

The pfer of labor between eastern and western regions leads to the "interception" of labor force, which is the cause of the shortage of migrant workers in eastern China.

According to a survey conducted by the Shandong Provincial Department of human resources and social security, as early as last year, the labor competition arising from industrial pfer had occurred between the coastal areas and the mainland of Shandong.

In addition, the redistribution of labor between the three industries, especially the competition between agriculture and industry, is also gradually emerging.

Feng Jicheng, a villager in Dong Wang Gou Village, Pingyi County, Shandong, said that the annual income of raising chickens at home can be thirty thousand or forty thousand yuan, plus the income from farming is not worse than that of going out for work.

In recent years, it has been the increase in the state's policy of benefiting agriculture and the rising price of agricultural products, which has made the attraction of agriculture more attractive to the labor force, and more farmers began to choose to stay in their hometown to start their own businesses.

Zhang Weiguo said that after the wave of migrant workers returning home after the international financial crisis, compared with the lives of fellow countrymen who stayed in their hometown, migrant workers who were returning from abroad had asked the boss to raise their wages.

Rising labor costs push industrial upgrading

The increasingly short supply of cheap labor is like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it will squeeze profits and increase cost burden of enterprises, but on the other hand, it will also force enterprises to increase labor efficiency and turn to high value-added industries with less labor and higher output rate, thus promoting the upgrading and progress of the whole industry.

Industry experts believe that to solve the problem of labor shortage, we should start with the following aspects:

First, the government provides information service platform, so that labor resources and enterprise employment needs can be effectively butted.

In the middle of the eight road in Ji'nan, many migrant workers gather here to find jobs. Whenever there is a "boss" coming, there will be a crowd of people gathered.

"Finding a job in this area does not cost money. Every industry has it. Every time you look for a job, you will come here."

Lv Zhongjian, a farmer in Dezhou, Shandong, told reporters with great experience.

According to a survey in Shandong, the proportion of migrant workers finding jobs through traditional channels is still large.

Last year, a survey of more than 1200 migrant workers in Shandong showed that 44.5% of them applied for jobs through acquaintances, and 23.6% of them applied for jobs through intermediaries. Most of these intermediaries were intermediaries of the market, while the contribution rate of government public placement agencies was low.

In recent years, labor shortage has caused some enterprises to take workers to the labor export place. Local governments have increased recruitment density and released employment information in various ways. These measures have had a positive impact on the smooth employment of labor force.

However, in view of the changing employment situation and the change of labor demand between industries and regions, the relevant government departments should make more investigations and studies, predict in advance, rationally guide the flow of labor force, and minimize the "labor shortage" caused by poor information.

The two is to deepen reform and provide more optimized policy environment for migrant workers to enter the city.

At present, there are some deep-seated obstacles in the flow of labor between industries.

For example, in the process of pferring rural labor to cities, there are many difficulties such as high housing prices, difficulties in children's schooling and inadequate coverage of social security. This makes it difficult to stabilize labor and jobs, resulting in labor mobility.

In this regard, Lin Dong Hua said that reforming the household registration system, increasing training for migrant workers, gradually increasing the income of migrant workers, and giving treatment to migrant workers will alleviate the above phenomenon.

Three, we should speed up the pformation of ways and structures by slowing down economic growth.

According to the insiders, only by upgrading the industry can we effectively increase labor productivity and raise the income level of workers, thus stimulating consumption and forming a virtuous circle of economic growth.

The new generation of migrant workers with higher quality has already done a good job of talent reserve for industrial upgrading.
