Men Have No Choice But To Do Needlework &Nbsp; Labor Shortage Is No Longer Limited To The Eastern Coast.

China "

At present, many small and medium-sized enterprises in the mainland are experiencing various employment phenomena:

"Sleeping, running to the job market every morning is like returning to the early stage of entrepreneurship."

Mr. Wan described his life in this way.

But Mr. Wan is not looking for a job as an applicant to the job market. His status is a shoe factory director who can admit more than 700 people.

"Today's environment is even worse than 08 years."

Mr. Wan said that factors such as financing difficulties and energy shortages are gradually eroding the already thin profit margins of shoe factories, and the rising cost of human labor is not only exacerbating the already difficult business growth.

He told reporters that although there was a problem of "recruitment difficulty" before, it could still cope with increasing wages and increasing holidays.

But this time, the old method will not work.

The shoe factory director of the personnel division told reporters that in the past, recruitment was "boss picking workers". Nowadays, recruitment has become "workers pick the boss".

She complained: "last week, a well appointed electrician and production clerk were not willing to come to work today.

The interviewer said that the factory was too far away from the bus to her home. The electrician said that the salary was too low, and he had already found a better paying job in those days.

The older generation of workers thought that everything would be fine without finding a job. The younger generation is not so sure. "

More than 70% enterprises in Wenzhou are short of work.

During the interview, Miss Yu was interrupted by several phone calls several times. "Sorry, maybe the applicant came over. I can't miss it."

Reporters praised her dedication, she laughed: "previously, candidates were 24 hours on the phone, for fear of missing the recruitment phone; now the situation in turn, our employers dare not miss any phone calls."

Wenzhou economic and Trade Commission data show that in the first quarter of 2011, the employment situation of Wenzhou enterprises was tight.

Of the 855 enterprises surveyed, 74.5% said they were short of employment, which was 14 percentage points higher than the same period last year.

Among them, the labor intensive industries such as footwear, clothing and spectacles, lighters and other labor intensive industries are more serious. The proportion of enterprises employing more than 10% of the labor gap is over 80%.

Relax gender restrictions and increase manpower

Due to the difficulty in recruiting workers, manual manufacturing enterprises, which only employ women workers, have begun to lift restrictions and become male and female recruits.

Mr. Cheng, director of the recruitment office of a textile and garment enterprise in Qingdao, said that the proportion of male workers in today's sewing workshop has exceeded 30%. Due to rush orders, some newly recruited male workers only trained for four or five days, and then they had on line sewing shirts.

Mr. Zheng said that manual manufacturing enterprises are helpless in recruiting men, and there is no way out.

He explained that women workers are more dexterous in their work, and the speed of operation or the pass rate of output is generally higher than that of male workers.

In order to recruit suitable women workers, the factory has set up a team of more than 20 people to recruit workers, but there are still three pipelines running out of work.

Under the circumstances, they relaxed the gender restrictions and "let men work on the production line to do needlework". Even so, the employment gap is still small.
