Overall, the proportion of long-term stable migrant workers is relatively high, and the high-quality employment population remains stable. In terms of the structure of the industry, in the third quarter, the proportion of Rural Labor force in Qinghai going out to engage in primary, secondary and tertiary industries was 6.3%, 32.4% and 61.3% respectively, and more and more migrant workers achieved employment in the tertiary industry.
