Nowadays, the society is developing very fast, and the automation development of various industries is gradually replacing labor, and the domestic employment situation is constantly severe.
Every time after the beginning of the year to find a job, according to statistics, more than 70 million migrant workers began to flock to the emerging industrial areas and developed cities, a large number of people but the position is limited, some enterprises began to put forward higher education, more experience of the job requirements, many people in order to support their families outside the miserable, but also in the process of looking for a job to make ends meet.
What's going on in this situation?
Social progress, talent retention
Since three years after the epidemic, it has become more and more difficult for society to find a job, due to the impact of the epidemic, most of China's household economy has been hit hard in previous years, people have had to reduce their expenses in order to survive, no expenses, some enterprises are also difficult to survive, and have to lay off some people to make ends meet, in the 2021 survey, the urban unemployment rate in mainland China has reached 5.2%.
Although the epidemic has been controlled in 2022, in the statistics of 23 years, the unemployment rate of young adults is still as high as 5.6%, the biggest reason is that there are too many talents, you must know that the epidemic has affected many people, but students are still continuing to take classes, only 21 and 22 years of total graduates as high as 20 million, there is a surplus of talents, but the jobs are completely insufficient, and there are still many people who are anxious about finding a job every day.
When some college graduates are flooded with the talent market, then the requirements for enterprise recruitment have become much higher, not only the traditional requirements of work attitude and learning, but also to let some college students who have just entered the society to provide work experience, some enterprises directly stuck in the professional counterpart of this level, but in the end can get a job but very few, and even some workers with lower education can not get the edge of the enterprise at all, the market talent surplus, employment pressure is an inevitable phenomenon.
For this scenario, many people can't help but lower their requirements, have planned to enter the factory to work, then another problem emerges, many factories in order to reduce the salary of recruited workers, from the original 6000 to 5000, and some electronics factories are to reduce the working hours to only 10 yuan per hour, and now many manufacturers in order to expand the scale are no longer included in food and housing.
Take Foxconn all over the country as an example, in the past, Foxconn implemented a 12-hour work system with food and accommodation, and workers could get at least 8,000 or so per month, but he had to respond to national requirements and began to implement the two-day rest system, which made many people who wanted to make money miserable, and workers who could not work overtime could only get his basic salary of two or three thousand per month.
This also leads to a lot of people being reluctant to waste their time here.
Technological change, industrial transformation
In addition to these fixed jobs, there are also some jobs in the service industry, but if you want to now that science and technology are constantly advancing, all kinds of high-tech robots are emerging in an endless stream, and even in some high-end hotels, food delivery and ordering are completed by robots, which completely reduces some of the costs of labor, and even says that it is difficult to find even a job of serving a plate now.
There is a dishwasher for dishwashing, there is a robot for food delivery, there is a QR code for ordering, automatic scanning code payment, all kinds of new technologies are improving our daily life, at first we have been excited about high-tech entering life, and we are witnessing the development of the times.
However, technological innovation will inevitably eliminate the traditional artificial, the same is true for industrial transformation in society, the competition for job hunting is increasing, the competition of enterprises is also increasing, the development of more emerging industries, even if some factories will hire personnel, but the competition between various products has increased, and more high-end technology has to be used to cope with this change.
Those jobs that do not require technology are replaced by machines, and the jobs that require technology are not ranked by ordinary people, and the problem of job hunting is even worse.
The original idea was to open up the Chinese and foreign markets, so that the Chinese people could find jobs faster and better, but they ignored the basic condition of a large population base, not to mention the difficulty of state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises to enter the "involution" phenomenon is serious.
This makes it even more difficult for some small and micro enterprises to develop, and enterprises that are excluded by the market can only lay off employees and declare bankruptcy.
A shift in business model
In the past, the streets were full of shops and hawkers, and at that time you came and went to social balance, but with the development of science and technology, the e-commerce industry rose directly, which not only saved people from the fatigue of shopping, but also could buy things cheaper than physical stores at a small price, plus the fruits and vegetables in various seasons and regions can be bought online at any time, and people rarely patronize places such as vegetable markets.
And to open a physical store, you have to face high ground rent, water and electricity bills, and various decoration costs, just to open a store, you have to make tens of thousands of investments, and after the store opens, due to the influence of various factors, the business is not stable, and even in the end, even the rent cannot be supplied, in 2022 statistics, there are 460,000 individual small physical stores that have closed down.
Later, the rise of online stores blocked some unnecessary troubles in physical stores, but online stores are not a foolproof strategy, after the first store is profitable, there will inevitably be a rush of imitators, then consumers will weigh the pros and cons, and choose the best and cheapest in the same goods, so that a business war on the Internet will appear.
In order to be better, some stores even have to fight a price war at a loss, every time "Double Eleven" and "Double Twelve" are some e-commerce gimmicks to fight price wars, in August 2023, the price war between Jingdong and Suning is eye-catching, Tokyo will now increase the price by a certain amount, and then fall back to the original price, giving people the illusion that it has dropped a lot, and Suning directly chose to open low at 5.79 yuan, although his stock price fell briefly by 7%, but soon the profit came back.
Their price war is just to gain more benefits by gaining traffic, but their malicious behavior of raising and lowering prices does affect the business of other small e-commerce.
Professional issues in education
Now more and more people can be admitted to college, are looking forward to graduation can find a high-paying easy job, but this is not the case, now the university majors are varied, some high-heat finance, computer major is difficult to squeeze into, even after graduation, it is difficult to find their own world in a competitive society.
Popular majors are like this, not to mention some philosophy, linguistics, agriculture, etc., there are many people who return from school and don't even know what kind of related job they can find in a few years of school, so the problem arises, and the job that matches the major cannot be found, and the competitiveness of the counterpart is large, and it is difficult for inexperienced college students to find a job.
In the past, if you go to a university to find a good job, you will not be able to break it, and even some students who graduated from technical schools can find suitable technical jobs, so in contrast, the employment pressure of college students is significantly stronger, of course, there is also a way to improve their academic qualifications, but the competition for graduate school entrance examination is not easy.
Anyway, it seems that finding a job has become very difficult.
The country's response policy
The mainland is now in a period of transition, it is not a simple matter to transform from a manufacturing country to a creative country, compared with the previous situation that many factories need a large number of workers to the situation that the country needs a large number of technical personnel, which leads to the need for technical personnel There are vacancies, and ordinary jobs are not so many jobs in demand.
In order to alleviate this situation, the state is also introducing relevant policies, as early as 2022, the country began to expand the scale of civil service examinations, and many provinces began to conduct written examinations and interviews in July.
The second is that the government supports enterprises to carry out some skills training, even if they have no experience, people who are willing to learn and have a strong learning ability can have a decent job.
The college students who have just entered the society should expand their abilities, establish a correct concept of employment, put an end to the vision of the master, adapt to the development of the society faster and better, and show their professional skills and outstanding ability.
The state has a long way to go to solve the problem of unemployment, and the methods proposed by the state can only meet the needs of the moment, and if we want to truly solve the problem of employment, we still need to rely on the joint efforts of the whole society in order to achieve a situation in which society and the people develop together.
