If the age range is expanded, it will be found that indebtedness or lack of savings is already a very common phenomenon in 2021. The Central Bank has done a survey on this, and out of 140,000 respondents, 56.6% have not saved in the last two years, mainly because there is no money to save.
In addition, there are a lot of people are unemployed, although the official statement is that the number of flexible employment in China has exceeded 200 million, but we all know that there are a lot of people here because they do not have a job, so they are flexibly employed. The National Bureau of Statistics has data showing that in the first three quarters of 2021, China's urban survey unemployment rate averaged 5.2%, so the number of unemployed people is still very large.
2021 is already so difficult, then 2022 will get better, or more difficult than 2021? In fact, there are still 4 harsh realities to face in 2022, and I don't know if you're ready for them.
2021 are already a large number of people are unemployed, to 2022, these people will face greater employment pressure, because in addition to them, there will be a new increase in the number of workers to come. The Ministry of Education has predicted that in 2022, the number of college graduates in China will be more than 10 million, nearly a million more than the 9.09 million in 2021.
So many people pouring into the society, need a lot of jobs to accommodate them, but now all walks of life are not good, the number of enterprises closed down a lot, there are some large enterprises, has been due to poor performance and mass layoffs, next year, it is even more difficult to say that there will be a large-scale expansion of recruitment.
Therefore, in 2022, everyone's employment pressure will really be very big, if there is still a job, really do not easily resign, first live with it!
In 2021, I believe that we all have a clear experience of prices, that is, the price increase is really big, especially the price of vegetables, but also once more than the price of pork. The National Bureau of Statistics has data showing that in October 2021, China's consumer prices rose by 1.5% year-on-year, and from January to October, prices also rose by 0.7% year-on-year.
In October, the price of fresh vegetables have risen by 16.6% yet, and the price of fresh fruits also rose by 2.9%. So in 2021, the cost of our meals is still pretty high, and takeaways are also increasing in price, which leads to a very high cost of living across the board.
And in 2022, the probability that this situation will continue to occur is very high, because for so many years, it has never been price increases, which has a significant decline, just like the restaurant charges, once it goes up, it will never be adjusted back to the original price. Therefore, the cost of living for everyone next year will still be very high.
This year, there are 9.09 million college graduates, which leads to a lot of urban landlords, directly to the housing rent to raise, anyway, the old tenants can not accept, there are new tenants will take over. Kerry has statistics, as of August 2021, China's key monitoring of the 55 cities, the average value of individual housing rent is 34.05 yuan / square meter / month, than the same period in 2020 rose 9.49%.
By 2022, the probability of housing rents rising again is very high because there are more graduates, so when will it be better if they don't go up now? Especially those densely populated cities, the probability and magnitude of housing rent increases will be very large, and even a large part of people's income has to be used to pay rent.
Many people take the store as their last retreat, that the big deal is to open a small store, but also to support themselves, such as opening a milk tea store. Wake up friends, the probability of opening a store closure is much higher, there will rarely be a new store can last more than six months, and this six months, all your savings can be emptied.
For example, the milk tea store, idle fish released "2021 entrepreneurial mine guide" tells us that in 2020, the country opened 90,000 new milk tea store, 90% of which are poorly operated, 70% of the offline cafes are also experiencing losses, and in the entrepreneurs should be avoided most of the project, the milk tea store on the top of the list.
In fact, in addition to milk tea stores, other industries are also not doing well, such as the catering industry, in the first half of 2021, 351,000 catering enterprises have closed down. The current situation is that e-commerce and live bandwagon, a serious impact on the offline physical stores, open store to do business want to make a profit has been very difficult, and even if you want to open a store, it is not easy, because the traditional store has been live bandwagon to the impact of the live bandwagon, and live bandwagon the general public can not afford to play.
In short, 2022 will not be easier than 2021, we have money in hand, then save, do not spend a lot of money, no money in hand will panic. There is also work, do not easily resign, lest next year is not good to find a job, want to do business, but also to think twice before doing business, perhaps business is not as good as working honestly.
The year 2022 is coming, I hope everyone will be able to spend it peacefully!
