Japanese media: China is caught by labor shortage

Japan's Asahi February 18 article, the original title: China by the labor shortage of the Chinese labor market, is a large number of migrant workers to decide. In response to inflation and high food prices, millions of of Chinese have never changed jobs as often as they do now.　　This is a headache for manufacturers, especially in coastal areas such as Zhejiang. The Yiwu job market office, just past the spring Festival, is more like an auction house than a recruiting center. A woman who had just raised a 1600-dollar-a-per-month salary was wiping it off to 1700 yuan, "and we won't be attracted to anyone without mentioning the salary above last year's level." "The hiring director of a textile mill notes that job-hiring competition is becoming more intense," and that "we can't pick people's educational background or work experience."　　We receive anyone, as long as we are 18-40 years old, and he laments that only 30 of the 80 workers who plant home for the new year are returning to the factory. Yiwu is a major manufacturer of Japanese "hundred-dollar Stores". The situation here shows that competition for workers is intensifying in China's increasingly strained labour market. The rising cost of living has prompted many workers to seek higher paid jobs.　　The booming economy in the interior has spawned a new job market, making the coastal hiring situation even tougher. The current labour market in China is more evident than last year, when a series of claims were raised. It is said that the employment gap in Guangdong province is as high as millions. Many other coastal cities also need hundreds of thousands of workers. The Chinese government, which is trying to avoid social unrest, is working to raise wages.　　China, imitating Japan in the late 60, plans to double the wages of workers in the next 5 years. Driven by strong exports, factories in China's coastal areas were submerged in product orders. But many people worry that the shortage will make it impossible for them to deliver on time.　　To Gansu recruitment of the Shaoxing recruitment team to provide two thousand or three thousand yuan monthly salary does not seem to have much appeal, due to the recent sharp fruit prices, local growers can reach more than 50,000 yuan of annual income to make work out of the pale. 3 Taiwanese companies began recruiting at the Chongqing railway station in early February. Chiang, who is preparing to return to work in Zhejiang Province, is asking a few questions about working conditions. He said he was asking for information about his daughter living in Chongqing. Chiang can get 5000 yuan a month for the more than 20-year working abroad. He said the boss was very worried about the shortage of labor, the first time this year to return factory workers reimbursement tickets. But Chiang wants his daughter to stay with her mother in Chongqing, "unlike in the past, people can now choose where to work." "Although wages in Chongqing are still below the coast," said Yeh, who has been working in Guangzhou for more than 10 years, "It is time for me to return home." The prices here are cheaper, and so are my family and friends. "▲ (author ao si ji zhi, Giganging, Wang Huicong translation)
