with the gradual recovery of the economy, the production volume, sales volume and business income of some private enterprises in Zhejiang have begun to pick up recently. However, the number of employees on the job has not increased correspondingly, and there has been a "no job growth" in the proportion of employment growth less than the growth rate of GDP. 
 the employment crowding out effect caused by technological progress, the reduction of the absorptive capacity of small and medium enterprises, the long-term imbalance of labor structure, and the negative effect of "no job growth" caused by a variety of reasons should be noticed. 
 reporters learned from a screwdriver enterprise in Jiande, Zhejiang Province, that the annual output value of the company is about 30 million yuan. In recent years, the output value of the company has maintained a steady growth of more than 15%, but the staff has decreased from 600 to 700 at the peak time to more than 300 people. 
The phenomenon of is not an example. Recently, the Hangzhou Federation of industry and Commerce has launched a survey on the employment situation of private enterprises. The survey involved industries such as construction, commerce and trade, traditional manufacturing, and so on, involving more than 60 enterprises. The private enterprises involved in the survey accounted for 42.86% of the growth of output value in 2012 than in 2011, while the number of the employed workers in the enterprises with increased output value accounted for 20%. However, in the enterprises where the number of employees increased, the growth rate of the staff and workers was not as good as the growth rate of the output value of the enterprises, and some of them were far apart. 
 nationwide, the urban unemployment rate registered at the end of 2012 was 4.1%, unchanged from 10 consecutive quarters in 2010. Correspondingly, the growth rate of GDP in 2010, 2011 and 2012 was 10.4%, 9.3% and 7.8% respectively. 
 for this reason, the Hangzhou Federation of industry and Commerce analyses that economic growth has not brought about the synchronous increase of employment rate, which indicates that the employment opportunities created by economic growth are lower than before. In the case of "no job growth", wealth will further concentrate on capital and land owners. The gap between the rich and the poor can not be narrowed, and it is likely to further widen. At the same time, because the national income has not kept pace with the national economy, domestic demand can not be fully activated. 
 reporter learned in the interview that due to the "extrusion" effect of technological progress, the difficulties of some small and micro enterprises and the long-term imbalance of labor force structure, structural unemployment and frictional unemployment are serious, resulting in some employees' employment difficulties. 
At present, the economic structure of the eastern developed areas is in the period of spanformation, and the type of economic development has gradually shifted from extensive to intensive. The way of increasing output by relying heavily on labour force has gradually changed to rely on capital and technology input. In the short term, employment inevitably has an "crowding out" effect, resulting in a significant reduction in the employment demand of enterprises.. 
 it is noteworthy that part of the labor-intensive enterprises are heavily burgled so that their employability is reduced. Wenzhou, Zhejiang, has concentrated a large number of manufacturing enterprises such as leather a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes < /a >. Recently, when reporters visited Wenzhou, they saw that many shoemaking factories were closing or half closed compared with previous employees. Zhou Dewen, President of the Wenzhou Federation of small and medium enterprises, said that at present, a large number of enterprises in Wenzhou are in a state of reduction in production and production. The proportion is at least 20%, and many small and micro enterprises have fallen into a vicious circle of insufficient recruitment, inadequate work, declining efficiency and inability to recruit workers. 
 in addition, the problem of labor structure is obvious. Hangzhou Federation of industry and commerce research shows that 71.43% of enterprises reflect the shortage of skilled workers and the surplus of low skilled labor. 
 experts said that the departments concerned should pay more attention to structural unemployment and frictional unemployment. The central and western regions should undertake the spanfer of Eastern industries, while vigorously supporting the development of small and medium enterprises and the third industry, further strengthening laborers' skills training, increasing employment opportunities for relatively low quality people and ensuring people's livelihood.
