Under the downward pressure of the economy, the employment pressure is also increasing. According to the latest statistics on the 18th, the unemployment rate in the national urban survey in March was 5.8%, up 0.3 percentage points month on month. The data of market institutions such as Zhilian recruitment and 51job also show that the overall employment market is relatively depressed in March and April, which was originally the peak recruitment season. How to break the current employment pressure? In March, the index decreased and the employment pressure increased "The decline in employment indicators in March is mainly due to the new impact and difficulties in the employment market under the increasing pressure on the total employment this year, and the intensification of the contradiction between supply and demand caused by the contraction of enterprise recruitment." Zeng Xiangquan, director of the China Employment Research Institute of Renmin University of China, said. On the one hand, nearly 16 million new growth workers need to be employed in cities and towns this year, a new high for many years. Among them, the number of college graduates increased to 10.76 million, the highest in history. On the other hand, affected by multiple factors such as the recent outbreak of multiple epidemics, enterprises and individual businesses carrying hundreds of millions of people to find jobs and start businesses are facing increased difficulties, and the employment situation is more severe. The reporter learned from several recruitment agencies such as Zhilian recruitment, 51job and 58 in the same city that the employment market started well this year, with overall stability in January and February, and the number of recruitment posts in some enterprises increased rapidly. However, after March, the number of job seekers increased significantly, while the recruitment demand turned downward, and many enterprises' recruitment slowed down, even reduced staff and laid off workers. "March and April are the key months for employment growth. The 'gold, silver and four' market downturn will inevitably affect the annual employment increment. This means that more efforts need to be made to achieve the goal of creating more than 11 million new jobs in cities and towns throughout the year." Zeng Xiangquan said. By industry, the number of recruits in building materials, real estate, Internet, education and training and contact service industries that originally attracted more jobs decreased. However, there is still a strong demand for talents in the fields of chips, medicine, FMCG, energy and so on. The recruitment of computer software, communication, logistics warehousing, integrated circuit and other industries related to digital transformation has always maintained growth, and the growth rate of recruitment demand for new occupations such as Internet marketer and video anchor is significantly higher than that of other positions. The employment of college graduates and older and low skilled people is difficult The employment of college graduates and other young people is the top priority of stabilizing employment. According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, the unemployment rate of urban youth aged 16 to 24 was 15.3% in January and February, and rose to 16% in March, the highest in the same period in recent five years. The reporter learned from a number of university employment centers that affected by the epidemic, many university campuses are now unable to enter, the on-site publicity and offline recruitment are blocked, and many state-owned enterprises and institutions have delayed the recruitment work, resulting in the lengthening of the job search cycle of college graduates. Xiao Yao, a 2022 master's student at a language university in Beijing, told reporters that at present, 6 of the 15 people in the class have signed up. I feel the fierce competition in various interviews and written examinations, and haven't found a suitable job yet. Experts said that in addition to the economic impact, the difficult employment of college graduates is also closely related to the concept of employment. In the past two years, the phenomenon of slow employment of young people has increased. "It's not that I can't find a job, but I can't go to the position I want to go." Feng Lijuan, chief human resources expert of 51job, said. In her opinion, non "985" and "211" ordinary college graduates in second and third tier cities, as well as older and low skilled workers, will be the groups with the greatest difficulty in employment. "The economic conditions of the 'post-95' and 'Post-00' families are mostly good, and parents generally want their children to engage in more decent jobs. Especially since the outbreak of the epidemic, graduates have an obvious mentality of seeking excellence and stability, and have gathered to apply for civil servants, career establishment and teacher qualifications." Zeng Xiangquan said that employers have also raised the recruitment threshold and have higher requirements for academic qualifications and vocational skills. This leads to the coexistence of "difficult employment" and "difficult recruitment" of small and medium-sized enterprises and manufacturing enterprises. "In the digital trend, enterprises prefer young people more. College graduates should be given more internships and internships to establish a sense of identity for various occupations earlier. At the same time, vocational skills training should be strengthened so that young people and older workers can improve their matching with high-quality jobs." Feng Lijuan said. The key to the future lies in the implementation of the preferential employment policy "Despite the impact of the epidemic, the national urban survey unemployment rate rose in March, but on the whole, the overall stable pattern of employment has not changed." Fu Linghui, spokesman of the National Bureau of statistics, said. "The goal of controlling the urban survey unemployment rate within 5.5% is for the whole year. It is not ruled out that the indicators in individual months are higher." Zeng Xiangquan said that the key is to respond in a timely manner. The employment priority policy has been placed at the macro policy level. Since this year, the need to stabilize employment has been fully considered in the formulation of policies such as tax support, assistance to industries with special difficulties and employment of key groups. Postponement - the policy of delaying the payment of pension, unemployment and work-related injury insurance premiums will be implemented for industries with special difficulties, such as catering, retail, tourism, civil aviation, highway, waterway and railway transportation, so as to alleviate the capital pressure of these industries, especially small, medium-sized and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households. Return - significantly increase the proportion of job stabilization return of unemployment insurance for small, medium-sized and micro enterprises, and the qualified areas can be raised from 60% to 90%. Expansion - we will strengthen unemployment protection, continue to implement the phased expansion policy of unemployment insurance, continue to provide unemployment subsidies to the insured unemployed and provide temporary living subsidies to the insured unemployed migrant workers by the end of this year. Subsidies - local governments are allowed to use another 4% of the balance of unemployment insurance fund for vocational skills training, and a one-time retention training subsidy is granted to small, medium-sized and micro enterprises affected by the epidemic and temporarily unable to operate normally. Provide 2 million high-quality employment opportunities for college graduates, require the "top leaders" of colleges and universities across the country to visit employers to open up jobs, organize the "spring breeze action" to provide employment services for migrant workers and people out of poverty, and promote the scale of migrant workers of people out of poverty to be no less than 30 million... All departments are working together to promote employment. "Next, we will implement a series of phased and combined policies and measures to stabilize jobs, improve skills and prevent unemployment, so as to effectively help enterprises rescue and ensure employment." The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of human resources and social security said.
