McDonald's retiree recruitment, rising youth unemployment rates, a few words

author:Apologies

In order to sleep more, breakfast is generally not eaten at home.

The McDonald's near the company is basically the canteen where I clock in every weekday.

It's all rushing in and hurrying out.

However, every time I was caught by its "job ads".

2 ads, very straightforward.

The message for young people is "we believe in young people".

Give the elderly (retirees) a set of "the most beautiful but sunset red".

Then, next door to the 2 ads there is a table facing the door.

Every morning it was a couple of "exquisite" old men sitting there.

Drinking coffee, chatting about the sky, eating burgers and fried sticks.

One

I deliberately checked the relevant content and shared a cold knowledge with you.

It turns out that 5% of the employees in McDonald's stores in China are actually retired employees.

This data is also officially disclosed by McDonald's.

Moreover, in 22 years, McDonald's was also on the hot search because of the recruitment of retired employees in Beijing.

Retired employees over 50 years old and men over 60 years old have a retirement certificate.

The work intensity is also not great, 4-5 days a week, 4-8 hours a day.

The salary is calculated on an hourly basis, which is about 17.8-21 yuan per hour (Beijing area).

The actual hand, about 2000-3000 yuan per month.

Do you guess that many people apply?

Very few go.

The reason is simple, most of the elderly are afraid of low wages.

Last year, some reporters also ran to the park to interview old men and women because of this.

1 uncle who practices tai chi heard the salary of 17.8/hour and called it too little.

He also said that this salary level directly dissuaded old people like him who want to exert their residual heat.

Ahem...

Another example is that a retired aunt shared the salary quotes of the housekeeping market.

Generally, it is 35-50 yuan / hour, and the market is in short supply.

In addition, I also checked that middle-aged and elderly retirees love to work as security guards.

Generally, those who work 12 hours to change morning and evening shifts also have a certain amount of 45,000 yuan.

Individual pursuit of "comfort", 8 hours a day to cover food and accommodation, but also 3700 yuan per month.

Moreover, in addition to these regular jobs, there are still many higher incomes.

Financial accounting, etc., don't say, the older the better.

Some subject teachers are even more good at warming up after retirement, especially experienced old teachers.

The hourly salary ranges from 100-1500 yuan, and some can even accept some 1V1 personal training orders.

On some recruitment websites for the elderly, there are exclusive network operations for the elderly, health consultants, head nurses, doctors, elderly photography, etc., and re-employment positions.

Those who have a bit of "one skill" will naturally not go to the "restaurant" to serve dishes.

*The above is mainly based on the situation of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen as an example.

Two

In first-tier cities, the "re-employment" of the elderly is so, but what about the young?

If, have seen the relevant data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on May 16.

Most friends may be in a mood and will feel a little uncomfortable.

The urban survey unemployment rate for 16-24 year olds has reached a new high of 20.4% this month, following 19.6% in the previous month.

The current employment environment, the trend of previous months, it is not difficult to understand this data.

But what many media have not said is that it is far from the "peak".

On the National Bureau of Statistics, I picked up a picture, you can feel it.

In previous years, the peak was actually until July.

Therefore, for at least three months, the unemployment rate for 16-24 year olds will continue to decline.

Here is also popularized 1 cold knowledge, how to calculate this unemployment rate.

The employed population, aged 16 and over, who (1) worked at least one hour in order to obtain labor remuneration or business income during the survey reference period (usually one week), and (2) included those who were employed but not working, such as vacations or temporary work suspension.

Unemployed persons, 16 years of age and older, (1) not employed but (2) actively looking for work within three months, and if there is a suitable job, those who can start working within 2 weeks.

According to the requirement to "control the relative error of the urban survey unemployment rate within 3.5% with 95% confidence", a total of about 120,000 households (housing units) are surveyed every month nationwide.

....

The Mainland Labour Force Survey uses a 2-10-2 model to rotate the sample, that is, a household is surveyed for 2 consecutive months, does not accept the survey for the next 10 months, and then receives another 2 consecutive months of survey, after which the sample is withdrawn.

As for many self-media complaining, the unemployment rate under this calculation method is seriously underestimated.

Indeed, the statistical caliber of employment is very broad, and the statistical caliber of unemployment is very strict...

Under this statistical method, the "three and great gods" naturally belong to the employed population.

"Do one day's work, three days of play".

But in fact, if you think about it, this statistical method still has its rationality.

Objectively, it actually eliminates some roles that "give up on themselves" and "put rotten" people who do not work.

This statistic is quite reasonable.

The unemployment rate in the national urban survey has decreased steadily. With the recovery of the economy, the demand for jobs in the job market is gradually increasing, and the urban survey unemployment rate continues to decline.

Three

In the overall situation, in fact, the new State Council Office had already blown the wind at the end of April.

"Optimize and adjust policies and measures to stabilize employment and make every effort to promote development and benefit people's livelihood."

Encourage enterprises to absorb employment, and issue a one-time employment subsidy to enterprises that recruit college graduates who have not been employed within two years of leaving school in the graduation year or who have registered as unemployed, and who have signed labor contracts for more than one year.

Encourage and guide grassroots employment, implement grassroots service projects, and implement support such as tuition compensation and state student loan reimbursement and high fixed wages.

Support state-owned enterprises to expand the scale of recruitment, and give a one-time increase in personnel and capital to state-owned enterprises whose total salary is difficult to meet the needs of expanding the recruitment of graduates.

Stabilize the scale of posts in organs and institutions, and reasonably determine the recruitment time.

Implement the 2023 million employment and internship recruitment plan, implement the internship subsidy, and give the remaining term of the internship subsidy to those who sign a labor contract with the trainee before the completion of the probationary period.

For persons with employment difficulties, employment assistance shall be provided in a timely manner, and a one-time employment subsidy may be issued to enterprises that recruit persons who have been registered as unemployed for more than half a year and sign labor contracts for more than one year.

For the unemployed, the unemployment insurance benefits shall be paid in a timely manner. Where living difficulties arise, they are included in the scope of social assistance such as minimum subsistence guarantees and temporary assistance.

After a preliminary look, the policy still gives a lot.

Let's not discuss the issue of its landing and effect.

This can only be verified by time and reality.

But with regard to employment, we have to say another statistic.

National urban survey unemployment rate (25-59 years old).

In April 2022, the national urban survey unemployment rate rose to 6.1%, and the youth unemployment rate rose to 18.2%.

In April 2023, the national urban survey unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, and the youth unemployment rate rose to 20.4%.

In fact, if you just look at the overall unemployment rate is falling, it seems that the general environment is OK.

At least 25 years of employment or see that there is "trying to get better".

But seeing something, some discussions, gave a "special perspective".

Since I am basically middle-aged people around me, it aroused my encouragement...

About this unemployment rate, some people asked.

Is the high employment rate of people over 25 years old because it is difficult for people of age to find employment for the sake of their families? If you don't have a few mouths, you won't have food. And young people, without mortgages and children, so they can still choose to "lie flat" and eat the old book?

The real situation, we can't see the overall situation, we can't evaluate.

But after losing my middle-aged job, there are indeed many people around me who reduce their expectations of reemployment.

Programmers and product managers over the age of 35 to deliver food and work as substitute drivers has become a realistic scene.

Hey, at this point, I have to popularize 1 more cold knowledge that surprised me.

There are 84 million people in the country who are so-called new forms of employment (such as delivery workers, ride-hailing, couriers, truck drivers, etc.).

The total number of employees in the country is actually only about 402 million.

Almost 1 in 5 to 6 people are newly employed workers.

The source of the data is true and reliable, and it is the latest "Ninth National Workforce Survey Program" issued by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions in 23 years.

Seeing these feelings, you can experience it for yourself.

PS: What makes McDonald's most uncomfortable in the past two years is that its 1+1 "poor ghost package" can actually rise from 12 yuan to 12.9 yuan, and then this year the price has increased to 13.9 yuan. Immediately it will not be a "poor ghost" !!
