Zhejiang'S "Textile City": Private Enterprises Are Busy "Weaving" And Technicians Are Still "Popular"

In the rumbling mechanical sound, rolls of cloth were dipped into vats, and then shaped, finished and other processes, and gorgeous fabrics were freshly baked...... On the 22nd, in Zhejiang Shaoxing Keqiao "Yuexin Printing and Dyeing" Textile Factory, dozens of workers were busy on the automated production line, and the workshop was in full swing.

"Before and after the Spring Festival this year, we have received a lot of orders." Jiang Guoqiang, the executive vice general manager of the company, said in an interview that the employees had been on duty since the tenth day of the first month, and "we will start running".

Shaoxing, as a large private economy city, has a very developed textile industry, which has bred textile industry clusters such as printing and dyeing, sock industry, and umbrella industry for many years. While the "blocky economy" boomed, it also released a large number of demand for skilled labor.

For example, Keqiao is the location of "the largest textile distribution center in the world". At the beginning of the Year of the Dragon, many textile printing and dyeing enterprises are rushing to catch up with orders and production. In order to play a good "first hand" in employment, the local government recently organized the 2024 Keqiao District vocational skills training "first lesson" with the theme of textile printing and dyeing safety.

"Compared with previous years, the 'first lesson' started this year has added practical drills and employment specifications to provide value-added services for enterprises to get off to a good start." The relevant person in charge of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Keqiao District said, "Next, professional skills training will be carried out for managers, technical workers, etc. in combination with different industrial needs to cultivate a high-quality workforce."

Songxia Street, Shangyu District, is also associated with "cloth", which is the world's largest manufacturing base for finished umbrellas. "Three umbrellas in the world, one made in Songxia" is the most true portrayal. At present, a large number of umbrella enterprises are also actively "grabbing the start" and sprinting for a "good start" in the economy.

Edge pulling, cloth cutting, flat cutting, packing... When we entered the "Feilian" umbrella factory with an area of more than 2000 square meters, more than 40 umbrella workers were busy at their posts, and most of them were rushing to make the "laser reflective umbrella", which was popular online.

"At present, there are still 7000 orders for 'laser reflective umbrellas', and customers all over the world." Lei Penglin, the owner of the umbrella factory, said in an interview that "laser reflective umbrellas" were developed last year according to the needs of netizens. They can reflect light at night, and sold 70000 of them as soon as they were launched.

Lei Penglin said that the factory had returned to work since the ninth day of the first month, and now one third of the workers are on duty. "Most of the workers come from outside Zhejiang Province, so they will all be in place after the Lantern Festival.".

Since the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the labor market has accelerated its recovery. Throughout the textile industry in Shaoxing, while the demand for workers in enterprises is rising, skilled workers are still very popular.

Handicavers, mechanics, CNC lathe workers... In the labor market of Datang Street, Zhuji City, the bulletin board is full of recruitment information, and many job seekers carefully look for their favorite jobs. Datang is the largest sock production base in the world. It is said that "Datang's sock machine sounds, and the world has a pair of socks". The nature of textile manufacturing also determines the direction of enterprise employment.

Ms. Yuan, a job seeker from Guizhou, said that she had worked in Datang for five years and hoped to find a suitable job as a barricade this year.

It is understood that the local government has launched more than 3000 jobs, 90% of which are from the sock industry chain, and skilled workers are favored by enterprises. Zhang Liang, general manager of a local human resources company, said, "This year, we will specialize in the part-time job market, provide one-stop services for part-time workers and employees, and help flexible employment."

Labor heat refracts economic temperature. With the acceleration of "starting" at the beginning of the New Year, it is believed that cities supported by pieces of "cloth" will usher in a beautiful spring.
