The "Labor Shortage" In Eastern China Has Been Postponed To Reflect The Survival Dilemma Of Smes.

Wang Yanju, Huangmei County, Hubei

Reporters in the eastern coastal cities interviewed learned that, because of the downward trend of the macroeconomic situation, small and medium-sized enterprises

"We didn't start hiring again in 7 and August this year, and we cut more than 70 workers in September."

Wu Mingyao, executive director of Wenzhou golden fish fish industry Co., Ltd., said that the shoe industry is in a bad situation this year. The order is 1/3 less than that of last year. Even if there is an order, we dare not take it. The raw materials must be paid in cash, and the shoes are not afraid to come back.

It is understood that the supply and demand situation of Zhejiang's human resources market is basically stable this year.

Statistics from the Ningbo Bureau of human resources and social security show that between January and November this year, 11.96 000 enterprises in Ningbo provided 2 million 133 thousand and 200 jobs, 1 million 48 thousand of the number of applicants, and the supply and demand ratio was basically 2:1.

However, the delay in "labor shortage" reflects the unstable production situation and deteriorating living conditions of some enterprises.

Zhou Dewen, President of Wenzhou SME Promotion Association, said that 20% of Wenzhou's enterprises are in a state of bankruptcy or semi shutdown.

Zhou Jiahao, Secretary General of Jiaxing Food Industry Association, said that there were more than 720 food enterprises in Jiaxing. At present, at least 20% of them are in stoppage or semi shutdown.

Reporters visited several shoe factories in Wenzhou and found that more than half of the shoe factories had been on holiday.

"In previous years, the boss dragged the staff out of the holiday. Now many shoe factories have taken a vacation at the end of last month, and the rest of the estimates will only last until the end of this month."

Wenzhou haute Shoes Co., Ltd. workshop director Chen Shangjun said.

The survival difficulties of some small and medium-sized enterprises have aggravated employees' sense of insecurity.

Wang Yingping, from Bijie, Guizhou, came to Wenzhou jade lice Shoes Co., Ltd. to make a code worker because of the shoe factory she had worked for.

In her view, the current job is to do day by day, do not know when the enterprise will fall, do not know when it will not earn money because of no order.

Yin Liping, He Yong, Liu Yongping and other workers who worked in the shoe factory in the town of Shuang Yu, Wenzhou, said that they could not come home after the end of the year.

"Business here is light and orders are low, and revenue has dropped considerably compared with last year.

And the cost of living is so high. After the festival, I want to visit other provinces. "

He Yong said.

After several years of "recruitment difficulties", the coastal areas ushered in the general rise in labor prices.

Statistics show that employee salaries in Zhejiang increased by 20% to 30% over the same period last year.

However, this year, with the huge increase in raw material prices, the difficulty of financing and the blocked export economy, labor-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises which rely on low cost advantages are particularly "entangled" this year.

"The cost of labor is too high, too much to eat" has become the voice of most small and medium-sized business owners.

Ye Xueping, director of the Zhejiang Jiaxing capital building project, said: "this year and last year, wage expenditure has increased by 20% to 30%. At present, the workers' expenditure accounts for 30% of the project cost, up 10% from last year, and the labor cost has already made the enterprises overwhelmed by the burden of labor.", "said Mr. Ye Xueping.

Economic experts believe that the sustainability of coastal areas by attracting wage increases will be weakened.

Zhou Guanxin, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of industry and commerce research, said that the growth of Zhejiang small and medium-sized enterprises in the third quarter has been showing signs of decline, regardless of production efficiency and speed.

Most of the labor-intensive enterprises in Zhejiang are still at the low end of the industrial chain, and the profit margins will continue to be compressed, which means that the possibility of continued wage increases is very small.

Chen Shida, director of the Zhejiang Institute of labor and social security, said that the way of production in the coastal areas relying on low-cost labor force has come to an end.

On the one hand, we should continue to improve the living environment of private enterprises, and promote the role of "pool" of labor force; on the other hand, we should guide enterprises to master core technologies, enhance value-added products, and upgrade the high-end industry chain to achieve pformation and upgrading.

Relevant experts believe that, for coastal areas, with the improvement of the business situation, "labor shortage" will also take the lead.

Nationwide, the employment problem will remain prominent during the "12th Five-Year" period. The shortage of employment structure is still obvious. The pformation and upgrading of enterprises will not happen overnight. "Employment difficulty" and "labor shortage" will coexist for a long time.

The executive meeting of the State Council held on 16 may point out that the total amount of employment pressure will continue to increase during the "12th Five-Year" period. The average annual employment of the urban labor force will be 1 million more than that of the "11th Five-Year" period. The structural contradiction between the skills of the workers and the post needs, the labor supply and the labor demand of the enterprises will not match, and the structural contradictions will become more prominent, and the employment task will be arduous and arduous.
