Economic Recovery, Shortage Of Eastern Silk Labor

　　春节期间，沿海与内地同时出现严重缺工现象，江苏吴江盛泽也不例外。

Recently, although the "labor shortage" has eased somewhat in recent years, with the recent arrival of the peak season of textile market sales, I found that the recruitment notice was still on the doorway of many companies in Shengze economic development zone.

All kinds of information platforms, such as the Oriental textile network, the textile talent network for customer service, and the talent recruitment section of "Silk City" magazine, are constantly changing recruitment information.

There are various indications that the shortage of labour in the Eastern Silk Market still exists.

　　经济回升造成用工短缺

There are two reasons for the shortage of labour in the Eastern Silk Market.

On the one hand, textile market sales season is coming, and external demand is beginning to pick up. Foreign orders, which originally disappeared or sharply reduced, appeared again, especially in clothing, shoes, electronics and other traditional industries.

According to the data, in the first quarter of this year, the textile market has obviously recovered with the strong economic recovery of the whole country. Shengze enterprises have continuously increased investment in technological pformation, promoted scientific and technological innovation, improved the added value of products, and achieved prosperous production and marketing.

In the whole town 1~3 months, industrial Invoicing revenue was 11 billion 840 million yuan, an increase of 43.96% over the same period last year, achieving a GDP growth of 5 billion 564 million yuan, an increase of 16.9% over the same period last year, and the realization of local general budgetary revenue of 314 million yuan, an increase of 17.96% over the same period last year.

This year, the volume of Eastern Silk Market has maintained steady growth, and sales reached 10 billion 964 million yuan in 1~3 months, an increase of 11.08% over the same period last year.

There are 248 new business operators in the market, with a new registered capital of 179 million 900 thousand yuan.

On the other hand, the textile industry belongs to the labor-intensive industry, and the labor intensity is strong. The new generation of migrant workers has changed their values and the labor force has been losing rapidly.

According to the survey, there are about 100 million of the "80" and "post-90" migrant workers in the labor market. Their work demands have undergone new changes. They have higher requirements for career development, income, and so on.

　　熟练操作工与外贸人才短缺严重

From the perspective of the shortage of labor in the Eastern Silk Market, the first type of shortage of talents is ordinary skilled operators and skilled workers.

According to the responsibility of some manufacturers, at present, the stability of migrant workers is not enough and the mobility is large. They will quit in less than a few months.

It is understood that in order to cope with the current shortage of labour, a rolling mill can only recruit workers by lowering standards such as education, age and so on.

The second category is skilled workers of medium and advanced level, who are also in serious shortage in the Eastern Silk Market.

Most manufacturers say that skilled workers of middle and advanced level need to have certain technical level and cultural knowledge. Ordinary migrant workers can not meet the requirements, and graduates in general do not want to engage in such work, resulting in a serious shortage of such talents.

The third category is the shortage of professionals in textile and foreign trade.

According to the market professionals, with the increase of foreign trade orders, there is a large gap in foreign trade talents in the Eastern Silk Market.

Foreign orders have been increasing under the influence of global warming, but the response of the Eastern Silk Market to the supply and demand of foreign trade professionals is lagging behind.

Data show that last year, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, Shengze's textile import and export trade had a negative growth, and the volume of export trade fell by 14.1%.

Since the beginning of this year, the total volume of foreign trade in textiles has rebounded markedly. The total import and export volume increased by 77.48% in 1~2 months, of which the increase of imports was 79.56% and the export growth rate was 74.7%.

Textile orders for foreign trade have increased significantly, and there has been a good trend of continuous improvement. This makes the textile professionals in the market more popular.

In addition, the "Oriental Pavilion" organized by the China Eastern Silk Market Management Committee has been exhibiting both at home and abroad, and has also promoted the increase of market operators' demand for professional foreign trade talents.
