Early in the morning, after sending her young daughter to school, Jimiran Mumakti walked quickly to the factory, "I promised my apprentice that I would rush over early today to teach her to sew her pants." "Ji Milanmu is a worker at the Siqi Garment Factory in the Small and Micro Entrepreneurship Park of Qiman Town, Kuqa City, Aksu Region, Xinjiang. Not long ago, she became the workshop leader and had her own apprentice, "the work is stable, and the days are more promising!" ”

Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has vigorously implemented the project of benefiting the people through employment, continued to increase policy support and training, and opened up avenues for people of all ethnic groups to increase employment and income.

Employment nearby, earning money and taking care of the family is not wrong

Three years ago, Gimilan mu was a housewife in the village of Victory in Qiman Town. The husband drives outside to earn money, the income is not high, and the family lives a tight life.

"Now that you have a stable job, would you like to try it?" At the beginning of 2018, the village committee cadre Abulahat Maimaiti came to the door and brought good news to Jimilanmu. Thinking of his two daughters who were still in school, Gimilanmu hesitated at first. "The factory is close to your home, and you will not delay taking care of your home." Hearing Abulah mention this, Gimilan Mu nodded hurriedly.

Today, Gilmilan Wood can earn 2500 yuan per month, plus her husband's monthly income of 3500 yuan, and the family's economic situation has improved significantly. Cars, new televisions, large refrigerators... There are new changes in the home every year. "I want to work harder and try to get promoted and make more money." Gimilan wood is full of expectations for the future.

Like Jimilamum, Maimaiti Yiming Kade from Baheqi Village, Baren Town, Jiashi County, Kashgar Region, has also gained a stable income through nearby employment.

There are 4 people in the Maimai Tiyiming family, and before 2019, the family income mainly depended on his farming and odd jobs. At the end of the year, Maimai Ti Yiming saw the recruitment information of the new Yue Naan Cheng Co., Ltd., thought that he would be a bun, and went to apply.

"The company is close to home, works 6 hours a day, and earns 4,800 yuan a month." Maimai Ti Yiming said that after work, he would go to work on the family's affairs and earn money to take care of the family.

The stories of Ji Milanmu and Maimai Tiyiming are a microcosm of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang who create a better life through nearby employment.

In recent years, Xinjiang has actively expanded employment space, focused on the implementation of local employment policies, vigorously developed labor-intensive industries such as textiles and garments, shoes, hats, bags, and consumer electronics, established village-run factories and poverty alleviation workshops to absorb employment according to local conditions, supported rural labor service cooperative organizations to promote employment, promoted stable employment in industrial (industrial) parks, developed tourism industries to promote employment, and allowed more surplus rural labor to achieve stable employment, sustained employment, and long-term employment at the doorstep of their homes.

At present, 1173 townships (streets) in Xinjiang have set up social security service agencies (platforms), and a new employment mechanism of employment with industry security, industry stability and income increase has been basically formed in the whole region.

Go out to work and usher in a new life

"It's all set for you, next time you come again!" In the winter, in Fuyun County, altay region, it is freezing cold, and the small shop business of Theraman Ruzi family is booming. Having just sent off the customers, Reheman turned around and sorted out the goods in the store. Every weekend when the factory was on vacation, he would come to the store to help his wife.

The couple's hometown is in Shache County, Kashgar Region. In the past, Reheman worked as a security guard at a local school and earned $2,000 a month. Obsessed with improving the living conditions at home, Heatherman has been looking for better job opportunities.

In early 2017, Reheman learned that a company in the Altay region of northern Xinjiang was recruiting workers, and the income was not bad. Although it was far from home, he and his wife decided to try it.

Not long after, the couple took the northbound train and arrived in Fuyun County. Because he worked hard, in less than half a year, Heatherman became a squad leader from an ordinary worker, and the more he worked, the smoother he went.

Seeing that the husband is so motivated, the wife does not want to be idle. Together, the two opened a small shop, selling daily necessities, but also selling special snacks such as fried eggs and spicy buns from their hometown. Now the couple earns 8,000 yuan a month, and life is delicious.

Alimire Tursun, a young girl from Kuqa City, has also improved her life by going out to work.

In April 2020, Ali Mire was attracted by the recruitment information of a textile company in Bole City, Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, "I signed up as soon as I saw that the treatment was good. Today, Alimir is the technical backbone of the factory, with a monthly salary of four or five thousand yuan. The company provides dormitories for free, with furniture and appliances. "The chef in the cafeteria will make us authentic pilaf, and every month when the company meets, we can also grill our own meat!" Alimir said she can now give her family money every month. "Several sisters in our village also came to the company through my introduction. Everyone cherishes this job and must do it well. She said.

With the in-depth implementation of a series of employment projects to benefit the people, more and more rural surplus labor force in Xinjiang has achieved employment outside the country and ushered in a new life. The data shows that in the first half of 2021, more than 2.62 million rural surplus laborers in Xinjiang transferred jobs.

Independent entrepreneurship, stimulate endogenous motivation

In April 2020, with the help of the municipal government department of Artush of Kyzyl-Su Kirgiz Autonomous Oblast, Nur Ella Usman registered and established a domestic service company and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship. "After the opening, our company's business scope quickly expanded, and the efficiency was continuously improved, and by the end of last year, it achieved a profit of 140,000 yuan." Nurella said.

Today, Nurella's company has more than 80 employees, including 41-year-old Senguli Imamu. Ru Xianguli, who used to work as a farmer at home, is now engaged in child care with a monthly salary of 2500 yuan. With a stable income, such as the significant improvement in the standard of living in The Xianguli family, she also became confident.

"Driving the employment of villagers through entrepreneurship makes me feel particularly accomplished." Nurella's company has also signed a school-enterprise cooperation agreement with artush Technical School to provide internships and employment opportunities for students. "The success of entrepreneurship is inseparable from the help of the party and the government." Nurella said that during the period of entrepreneurship, she enjoyed 150,000 yuan of entrepreneurial support funds and 18,000 yuan of social insurance subsidies provided by the government.

Zhang Rong, director of the Xinjiang Public Employment Service Center, introduced that Xinjiang regards entrepreneurship as an important channel to promote employment, and has introduced support policies such as entrepreneurial training subsidies, entrepreneurial guarantee loans and discounts, tax reductions and exemptions, and social security subsidies. From 2016 to 2020, Xinjiang issued a total of 5.471 billion yuan of guaranteed loans for entrepreneurship, adding 387,200 new entrepreneurs and driving employment of 806,500 people.

Xinjiang has also promoted rural employment and entrepreneurship training on a large scale, carried out special training in rural handicrafts and traditional crafts, and promoted entrepreneurship guidance training and entrepreneurial ability training.

Abdureheman Isamidin of Shorak Village in Ilyich Township, Hotan City, is the beneficiary of employment and entrepreneurship training. In 2019, he began an internship as a welder after graduating from Hetian Technician College, with an internship salary of about 3,000 yuan. The next year, with the help of the team in the village, he participated in vocational training in the village and soon obtained a special operation certificate for welders. In October of that year, Abdul Rehman opened a simple welding shop, and because of his skill, business was quickly on track. The order line up, Abdurehmann recruited 3 apprentices. Recently, he plans to open another shop on the outskirts of Hotan City, "I have thought of a name, it will be called Happiness Welding Shop!" ”

Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood, and labor creates a better life. According to statistics, from 2014 to 2020, the total number of laborers and employment in Xinjiang increased from 11.3524 million to 13.56 million, an increase of 19.4%.
