Some shoe industry with weak economic foundation may break through the last line of defense under the economic downturn.

According to the industry, the layoff action after the production reduction has actually started, because the shoe factories generally require less foreign workers. The industry only keeps shoemaker who cuts and takes charge of important departments. Irregular employees are asked to rest for a while and resume their work when orders are restored.

They say that layoffs are not terrible. The industry is worried about the sharp reduction of orders. Inevitably, the industry will set off another price cut to fight for survival. Then the red sea will turn over, and everyone will fight to win over the competition and grab bigger market share.
