2023-07-20
Employment is the greatest livelihood and also the basic support for the economy. The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that in the first half of the year, the national urban survey unemployment rate averaged 5.3%, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from the first quarter, and the overall employment situation remained stable. It is worth noting that the issue of youth employment remains prominent. How to Solve the Employment Pressure of College Graduates? How to view the structural problem of coexisting "difficult employment" for some people and "difficult recruitment" for some enterprises? How to revitalize employment stability? Recently, reporters visited enterprises, talent markets, and universities in Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Shandong, and other places to experience the temperature of the job market and understand new trends in promoting employment. Stable while under pressure - The overall employment situation has improved, but overall pressure and structural problems still exist. "With the recovery of economic stability and the recovery of enterprise employment demand and offline recruitment, the labor market is also becoming more active." Song Xiaoqiang, director of Xi'an Talent Service Center, introduced that in the first half of the year alone, public service institutions in Xi'an held nearly 300 job fairs, and recruitment activities for college graduates became more intensive in July. Song Xiaoqiang's observation is also confirmed by macro data. In the first half of the year, 6.78 million new urban jobs were created nationwide, an increase of 240000 compared to the same period last year, and the employment scale steadily expanded. But at the same time, the external environment is complex and severe, and the domestic economy is still facing downward pressure. The employment situation is stable and under pressure. Indeed, the recruitment volume has not yet recovered to the level of 2019. Some industries are still in a recovery period, and some enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are still facing difficulties in operation. Therefore, the pace of recruitment will be slowed down, inevitably affecting employment, "said Song Xiaoqiang. Some graduates told reporters that they have been working hard to find a job this year, but the time cycle from receiving resumes to finally being accepted by companies has become longer. In addition, many units require certain practical experience, but due to the impact of the epidemic, there was indeed a lack of offline internships. Xiao Chen, a 2023 undergraduate graduate majoring in law from a regular university in Hunan, said, "I still hope to start from a higher starting point for my first job. However, large enterprises have fewer positions in humanities and more applicants, which makes me less competitive compared to graduates from key universities. Therefore, the results of my resume application are not ideal, and I have not yet found a job that meets my expectations The current overall pressure and structural problems of employment still exist, with the 'difficulty in finding jobs' for young people and the' difficulty in recruiting 'for some industries coexisting, "said Fu Linghui, a spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics. Since the beginning of this year, there has been a rapid growth in recruitment in industries such as consumer goods and new energy, but the recruitment demand for internet, real estate construction, and education and training related enterprises, which are favored by college graduates, has recovered relatively slowly. "said Li Qiang, Executive Vice President of Zhaopin Recruitment. However, from the job search perspective, the number of newly growing labor force and college graduates who need to work in urban areas this year has reached a new high, and many international students have returned to China for employment. The competitive pressure, coupled with a clear mentality of seeking stability among graduates, has further increased the difficulty of job matching. At the same time, some industries and enterprises are facing "recruitment difficulties", especially a shortage of highly skilled and innovative talents. Yang Pengjiang, Deputy Director of the Employment and Entrepreneurship Center of Chengdu Ginkgo Hotel Management College, introduced that the number of units recruited at the school has significantly increased this year, with domestic five-star hotels and globally renowned hotels coming to recruit
