Electricity Providers Affect Employment? Why Are They Laying Down The Line Again?

"Although new forms of job creation such as online retailing and express delivery have created some new jobs, we must also note the impact of online shops on physical stores and the significant substitution effect."

After careful investigation, the NDRC said that the physical stores of books, clothing, household appliances and other products were the most impacted, and some of the entities' business difficulties were even closed.

Some traditional department stores were also greatly affected, and the business boom continued to decline, which had a great impact on the employment of the relevant groups.

In his report to Chairman Xi Jinping, Ma pointed out that Alibaba group has created a large number of new jobs for the society.

"Alibaba platform has 8 million 500 thousand active sellers, creating 10 million direct.

There are 3 million 520 thousand indirect jobs. "

Ma Yun said.

Jingdong also claims that its creation of electricity supplier ecosystem directly and indirectly leads to 500 thousand people's employment.

It is noteworthy that the data from the Bureau of statistics are different from those of the above reports, which deserve our attention.

According to the statistics of the National Bureau of statistics, the employment situation in the first half of 2015 was stable. The unemployment rate of 31 big cities and towns remained at around 5.1%, and the fluctuation rate did not exceed 0.2%.

At the end of the two quarter of this year, the number of employed persons in Enterprises above Designated Size reached 460 thousand, an increase of 0.3% over the same period last year, up from the end of the year to the end of the two quarter.

In this sense, is the report of the NDRC wrong?

The electricity supplier has caused a certain impact on the entity. In recent years, the retail business has become more and more intense, which has also affected part of the employment.

It is a development trend for electric business to set up a physical store.

We hope that Amazon's stores will give customers the feeling of having their own study. "

The leader of the East China region, Amazon, said.

"These businesses are beginning to realize the importance of enhancing customer experience, which is also a shortage of electricity providers and entities."

The director of the e-commerce platform said to reporters that online retail is growing rapidly, but also because it can not see the physical, can not get the personal experience, and lost a lot of consumers.

Since the beginning of this year, the noise of department stores has been heard one after another.

This round began in 2012, closing the tide of physical department stores, and even more threatening this year.

In the first half of this year, China's main retail enterprises (including department stores and supermarkets) closed 121 altogether, of which 25 were closed by department stores, which exceeded the number of 23 stores closed last year.
