Employment is connected to both the macro trend and the lights of thousands of households. Recently, reporters have seen in multiple interviews that in the face of complex situations, various regions have emphasized the priority orientation of employment, relevant departments have accelerated the introduction of stable employment policies, and enterprises have actively expanded their markets to recruit talents. All parties should make every effort to cope with the impact of external environment and domestic economic changes on employment, and firmly stabilize the basic employment situation. The unemployment rate has remained stable with a slight decrease, and the demand for recruitment in emerging industries has surged. On April 20th, more than 200 Guangdong enterprises and institutions brought more than 15000 positions to Wuhan across provinces to recruit talents. The "Million Talents Gathering in Southern Guangdong" 2025 N-City Joint Spring Recruitment Event was crowded with people, and long queues formed in front of the exhibition booths of popular industries such as electronic information, intelligent manufacturing, and new energy. Using industrial belts to create employment and promoting industries through employment. The latest data shows that China's GDP grew by 5.4% year-on-year in the first quarter, and the national economy started well with an overall stable employment situation. The average national urban survey unemployment rate is 5.3%, with 5.2% in March, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous month. As an important barometer of economic development, employment market data confirms the continuous promotion of industrial structure optimization and the transformation of old and new driving forces, demonstrating the resilience of China's economy in complex environments The head of Zhilian Recruitment stated. In the first quarter, steady growth in consumption drove a significant increase in demand for life service positions. According to data from Zhilian Recruitment, the recruitment demand for industries such as online life services, transportation and logistics, elderly care, and resident services has increased by 43%, 35%, 17%, and 10% year-on-year, respectively.

On April 17th, Tencent announced the launch of a new employment plan - adding 28000 internship positions and increasing conversion and employment within three years. Against the backdrop of accelerating the implementation of big models, we have increased our recruitment efforts for technology positions such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing.

Huawei has opened up more than 60 types of positions, including AI engineers, algorithm engineers, software development engineers, etc., for fresh college graduates in 2025, with a planned recruitment of over 10000 people, expected to achieve double-digit growth year-on-year. With the intensification of fluctuations in the international trade environment, many enterprises have further accelerated their diversified layout since the beginning of this year. More overseas investments in building factories and collaborations have stimulated new demands for talent. I receive calls from employers every day asking for Vietnamese language majors Ke Wei, an employment counselor at the School of Foreign Languages, Guangxi University, told reporters that "half of this year's Vietnamese undergraduate graduates have confirmed their career paths, and some students have two or more companies offering employment opportunities." Ke Wei introduced that in addition to manufacturing enterprises such as machinery, chemical, new energy vehicles, and photovoltaics, banks, accounting firms, logistics and other service companies have also increased their recruitment of Southeast Asian minority language talents this year. Data from Zhilian Recruitment also shows that in the first quarter, the number of positions related to overseas business recruited by enterprises increased by 14% year-on-year, mainly distributed in East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. The policy is strengthening and expanding the scope, further enhancing the expansion of job opportunities to promote matching. During the research, reporters felt that both the supply and demand sides of the current job market are actively working, and favorable factors are constantly emerging. However, the overall employment pressure is still significant, and some groups still face certain difficulties in finding employment. With the deepening of external adverse effects, some enterprises are facing challenges in operation and job stability. Relevant departments are accelerating planning and comprehensive deployment, and various regions are strengthening policy support, increasing the frequency of organizational recruitment, and expanding the scope of job stabilization and expansion. Through a series of practical measures and meticulous services, we will solidly stabilize employment and benefit people's livelihoods. Suzhou, Jiangsu, has a direct export proportion of about 20% to the United States. The recent high tariffs imposed by the United States have posed significant challenges to foreign trade enterprises in Suzhou, especially some small and medium-sized enterprises. Suzhou Changshu Lefly Home Textile Co., Ltd. has more than 170 employees, mainly producing blankets and selling them to European and American markets. Recently, orders have declined. Employees are valuable assets of a company, connecting hundreds of families. Those who are willing to stay and overcome difficulties together now will be provided with food, accommodation, and guaranteed basic salary The company's head, Zhang Shili, said, "We are increasing domestic sales, and the government is also helping to find ways, including coordinating procurement, to strive for an early breakthrough." It is understood that the Suzhou municipal government is carrying out a special action to help enterprises solve difficulties and accelerate the implementation of the unemployment insurance stabilization and return policy, adopting methods such as "exemption from application" and "direct subsidy and quick processing" to support foreign trade enterprises in reducing burden and stabilizing employment. About 190 million business entities are the key to stabilizing the employment market. Beijing provides tax incentives to enterprises that hire unemployed individuals or those who have been lifted out of poverty for more than six months; Sichuan provides a recruitment cost subsidy of 1000 yuan per person to enterprises that recruit new and growing labor force from April to September; Chongqing has proposed to provide 10000 free entrepreneurial workstations and support 100 high-quality entrepreneurial projects this year... Since the beginning of this year, various regions have continued to implement phased policies to reduce unemployment and work-related injury insurance rates, as well as one-time job expansion subsidies. In addition, they have also taken innovative measures tailored to local conditions to further expand the scope and support of subsidies for enterprises to absorb employment, and promote entrepreneurship to drive employment. The expected number of graduates from ordinary universities nationwide in 2025 is 12.22 million, an increase of 430000 compared to the same period last year. Expanding job opportunities and providing excellent services for young people is of utmost importance. In order to promote early employment and good career prospects for young people, various regions are trying their best to stabilize the recruitment scale of government agencies, public institutions, and state-owned enterprises, and activate the staffing resources of education, health, and other public institutions. Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces have all advanced the recruitment of civil servants. Market oriented recruitment is widely carried out. The fourth batch of characteristic service activities for the spring session of the National Urban Joint Recruitment of College Graduates in 2025 has recently been launched, including 101 special job fairs on intelligent manufacturing, life services, specialization and innovation, and low altitude economy. To improve the effectiveness of training, and strive to solve the structural employment contradiction, a fashionable "job search convenience station" at the entrance of Hunan Rice noodles Street, a popular online red card punching ground in Changsha, is eye-catching. Walking into the nearby "Bayiqiao Community Employment Micro Market", staff members enthusiastically asked if they wanted to find a job. In the training classroom upstairs, more than 20 trainees attending the nutritionist training are learning to make Steamed rolls(bread)look like silver threads. To strengthen assistance to job seekers, especially older individuals, in the surrounding areas, the human resources and social security departments in Changsha have established "micro markets" in densely populated areas to provide one-stop services. Through the "order cultivation and targeted delivery" method, workers can receive free training from professional teachers and accurately match the recruitment needs of nearby enterprises. The spring night is slightly cool, but the new citizen night school training held at various places such as Xiong'an Business Service Center is very popular. I learned flower arrangement and online store operation at night school, and in the future, I plan to open a high-end flower shop in the new district to meet the demand for flower bouquets for business activities, "said 43 year old resident Kang Ying to reporters. Having learned that local residents who urgently need to reshape their careers due to demolition, transformation, and industrial adjustment have an urgent need for skills training, the New Citizen Night School has opened multiple application skills courses such as drone operation, online marketing, and app development, which have been widely welcomed. Not long ago, some students took an office software course and found an administrative job with a monthly income of four to five thousand yuan, "said Sun Rui, the person in charge of night school operations. Entering community streets, going to shopping malls and night markets, going to enterprises and universities... During interviews, reporters saw that many places are carrying out vocational skills training in various ways, while closely following industrial changes and optimizing training program settings to meet social needs, constantly improving the matching between personnel supply and enterprise demand, and striving to solve the structural employment contradiction of "having work but no one to do it, and having people but no work to do it". Adjust the stock while reforming the increment; Adapting to the present requires aligning with the future. The Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Henan Province recently released a three-year action plan for "Artificial Intelligence+" high-quality employment, proposing to closely monitor the talent demand gap in the artificial intelligence industry and improve the training curriculum system. From 2025 to 2027, the province will provide artificial intelligence application training to over 50000 people annually, promoting employment and entrepreneurship for no less than 40000 people in the field of artificial intelligence applications. Not just in Henan. Starting from this year, for three consecutive years, China will focus on key areas such as health care and childcare, advanced manufacturing, modern services, and new professions, and subsidize vocational skills training for more than 10 million people annually. With the acceleration of industrial upgrading, the employment requirements of enterprises are constantly changing and increasing. Only by improving the quality and skill level of workers can we achieve resonance with industrial development Li Chang'an, a researcher at the National Institute of Opening up at the University of International Business and Economics, said.
