In recent years, the unemployment rate on the mainland has soared, and data shows that the unemployment rate has reached 20.8% in 2023. This figure is deeply worrying, especially in June and July, when more than 9 million college students graduate each year and are on the road to finding work. However, the global economic downturn and the ongoing impact of the pandemic have exacerbated the job market. At this moment, stable work is especially valuable, and resignation becomes a luxury.
With the rapid development of technology, more and more positions are being replaced by automation, and robotic arms and intelligent systems are beginning to emerge in the workplace. This trend has made it harder to find work, especially for those in three industries, where the threat of unemployment is even greater.
First, the profession of taxi driver is gradually disappearing. Not long ago, taxis were found on the streets and alleys of cities, a well-paid profession that many drivers earn more than the average commuter person every day. However, in recent years, with the improvement of people's economic level, the popularity of private cars has been rising, and the demand for taxis has decreased significantly. At the same time, with the advancement of technology, the chauffeur service on the mobile app has become extremely convenient, and you can enjoy the convenience brought by chauffeur with just a few clicks. In addition, the rise of car sharing has also exacerbated the shrinkage of the taxi business, a trend that has had a huge impact on the income of taxi drivers, causing many to choose other job opportunities.
Second, construction workers are also under enormous employment pressure. Today, high-rise buildings have sprung up in cities, but falling house prices have led to saturation of the housing market, and many real estate development companies have stopped developing new projects. This situation has drastically reduced the job opportunities of construction workers, and many have had to find other occupations to make ends meet. A neighbor in my neighborhood is a construction worker who has little work to do for the past two months, taking occasional odd jobs to support his family. For many construction workers, finding a stable job has become increasingly difficult.
Third, assembly line workers also face the challenges of robotics and smart technology. With the rapid development of electronic technology and the continuous improvement of intelligence, more and more factories have begun to adopt automated production systems to replace traditional manual labor. This not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces labor costs and reduces accidents and errors. For example, Foxconn recently introduced 60,000 robots, reducing the number of employees from 110,000 to 50,000, and these 60,000 people are at risk of losing their jobs. According to research from the University of Oxford, 47% of assembly line workers may be replaced by robots in the next 10 years, especially those in low-tech jobs.
Although all three industries face great challenges, they are not without a way out. The key is to improve your own capabilities and constantly adapt to the development of the times. As long as you have enough ability, you can stand out in any field and achieve your career goals. The threat of unemployment is there, but for the enterprising, it also means the opening of opportunity. Therefore, no matter how the career changes, maintaining an attitude of learning and progress is always the most important thing.
