There is an inflection point in Shenzhen's labor market: from the shortage of migrant workers to the difficulty of employment, there are 21,111 fewer people in the once-hot industrial zone
"In the past, people were walking on the road during the rush hour, but now there are fewer people and fewer cars." Today, Wang Zhanhui, manager of the Southern District Management Office of Chegongmiao Industrial Zone in Shenzhen, told China Youth Daily that two years ago, the industrial zone was famous for its high rent, and I don't know how many enterprises wanted to find a way to settle here, but now the vacancy rate of houses here is as high as 5% to 11%.
In, it was once called "Tianan Industrial Zone", and at that time, most of them were labor-intensive enterprises. After several years of transformation, this industrial zone has been transformed into a science and technology park focusing on the research and development of high-tech products, especially software and services, and it has also become the "Tianan Digital City" familiar to Shenzhen people.
it is famous for its complete facilities and convenient transportation. There are almost all national banks, supermarkets, department stores and restaurants, and there is also a police station that is responsible for public security here.
since last year, some enterprises in this industrial zone have been affected by the financial turmoil. In the first half of last year, the daily amount of a power line and cable enterprise was more than tens of thousands of yuan, and it began to decline after August, until it was less than 1 million yuan per day.
since last September, there has been a vacancy here. "There are two companies in Tianan, among which there are nearly two companies renting offices. Although the number is small, each company has a large area and scale. At first, the vacancy rate was 5%, and then it soared to 11%. Now it is around 8%. " Wang Zhanhui said.
Like him, there is a super manager in the industrial zone as the boss. Three years ago, he signed the management right of Wandiantong Chain Supermarket in Tianan area. At the beginning, as long as it was off duty, there were always a group of people flocking here, even the aisles were full. "But now? I quit three of the five employees in the store and stayed here as a clerk all day. " As the boss face toward the empty street outside the door said in confusion. The most terrible thing is that it will expire in August this year, and he has not even recovered the cost.
Mr. Ren thinks the reason is that there are fewer people. The data that Wang Zhanhui found from the police office in the jurisdiction is that at the peak of the year, there were nearly 81,111 people in the Tianan Digital City in the jurisdiction, and now there are less than 61,111 people.
From "difficulty in recruiting workers" to "difficulty in finding jobs"
On the morning of February 8, Xiao Tan, who returned to Shenzhen from his hometown in Maoming, Guangdong, came to the Public Art Museum in Baoan District early in the morning, where there will be a free job fair. Perhaps because of Sunday, there are only about 31 companies that recruit, and most of them provide service positions such as security guards, waiters and cashiers. At the job fair, Xiao Tan carefully read the information of employment demand of each enterprise. To her disappointment, there are only one or two clerical positions she wants to find, and all of them require college education or above, which makes Xiao Tan, who only has a high school diploma, completely lose the competition opportunity. "Look again, if it doesn't work, you have to lower your expectations and become a waiter again. Anyway, you still earn more in Shenzhen than in your hometown."
Xiao Tan, who is in her early twenties, has worked in Shenzhen for four years, working as a hotel waiter, a shopping mall promoter and a factory clerk. During these four years, she has changed several jobs. Affected by the financial turmoil, in February last year, an electronics factory in Bao 'an, where she was located, went bankrupt and closed, and Xiao Tan lost her job. As the Spring Festival was approaching, she simply went home for the Spring Festival. However, the severe employment situation after the holiday made her unexpected. When she came out from the job fair, she said to the China Youth Daily reporter with a sad face: "Last year, Baoan's work was still very easy to find. Many large enterprises recruited people, and now many of them are small, and the requirements are not low."
Yang Wei, from Zhumadian, Henan Province, was also in a daze at the job fair. He didn't see any financial positions he wanted to compete for. In March last year, Yang Wei came to Shenzhen from his hometown, and found a job of checking documents in an instrument enterprise in Baoan District without any effort. In order to take the entrance examination of another company, he resigned from this job last October. "At that time, I felt that I had resigned. There was nothing to regret. Now I have failed the exam and I can't find a new position. I really regret it when I think about it."
From the difficulty of recruiting workers to finding jobs, Mr. Hu of Shenzhen Pengcheng Human Resources Baoan Branch was deeply touched by the reversal of the human resources field in the past six months. Bao 'an District, where he lives, is a densely populated area of processing enterprises in Shenzhen. Before the third quarter of last year, there were still many enterprises that came to recruit workers. Clothing, electronics, toys and other enterprises and foreign trade industries were all large employers. However, with the spread of the financial crisis last October, the market situation suddenly reversed, and now there are not enough, especially enterprises.
A person in charge of a shoe factory still remembers the "golden moment" when it was difficult to recruit workers at this time last year: after the Spring Festival that year, because there were no suitable workers, the factory even converted the delivery car into a recruitment car for mobile recruitment, which did not limit age and gender, and the salary was raised by one or two hundred yuan compared with the past, but few people came to visit.
Yuan, the boss of an electronics factory in Bao 'an District, Shenzhen, had a big headache about recruiting workers at the beginning of last year. Although several employment agencies were entrusted, the effect was not obvious, and this situation continued until the second half of last year.
according to the comprehensive comparison of the labor department to the job market, the number of people lacking jobs in Shenzhen still reached 311,111 in the third quarter of last year, but in the fourth quarter, for the first time, the number of job seekers exceeded the demand.
"At that time, 21 to 31 companies commissioned recruitment every day, and basically 51% were not satisfied." Zhang Huanbin, the manager of one of the largest talent fields in Baoan District, Shenzhen, said that now enterprises generally begin to reflect that with the increase of the success rate of job placement, it is easy for enterprises to recruit.
Corresponding to the easier recruitment of enterprises, there are many "twists and turns" encountered by job seekers in the application process. Chen Bingjie, a 22-year-old graduate of Henan Polytechnic University, came to Shenzhen to look for a job after working in Shanghai for one year. It is supposed that he should easily find an ideal job with work experience and education, but he still experienced a "tossing trip".
He sat in front of the LCD scroll screen in the human resources field in Shenzhen, reading the recruitment information and taking notes while reading it. In a short time, his eyes were a little blurred, so he had to take off his glasses and close his eyes for a while, then put them on and continue to look. There are many recruitment companies on the scrolling screen, but few of them are to his liking.
"Most of them are positions such as sales promotion, security guard and shop assistant, and it is stated that they must work." From Zhengzhou to Shanghai, they came to Shenzhen and began to look for jobs on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. At first, I searched online or in other ways, and after I had been cheated, I began to run all the talent and human resources fields. He pointed to the constantly updated job-hunting information tips under the LCD scroll screen and told reporters, "Look, places with such things are formal", where there are messages such as "After July 1, the minimum wage in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone will be adjusted to RMB".
Before, he applied for a job. Apart from providing accommodation, he was very tempted by the monthly salary of RMB, so he took his luggage to report for work that day. When he entered the dormitory, he saw that his bunk was on the upper bunk, so he asked, can I change to the lower bunk? What I heard was this answer: "You can change it after the people in the lower berth leave in a few days."
Chen Bingjie left on the third day. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, after attending the first job fair of "Spring Breeze Action" held by Shenzhen Labor and Social Security Bureau in the Year of the Ox, "there are two companies with preliminary intentions, one is an employee, and the other is fitness. Now I will go to which one can let me go to work first, find a job to make do first, and then talk about the rest after solving the survival problem." He said that the wandering overnight life after coming to Shenzhen made him feel that he had to find a job early. "Now my requirements are not high, as long as the salary can go up to yuan, it is best to solve the accommodation."
Luo Fei, a young man from Sichuan, used to work in the financial industry and wanted to find a job in the securities industry in Shenzhen. Only after he came did he find that due to the financial crisis, fewer and fewer companies were recruited in the securities industry, and most of them were similar to operator positions, so he had to shift his eyes from the securities industry. So, he set himself a goal: to win interviews with at least two recruiting units every day. As a result, he ran around every district in Shenzhen every day. Once he went from Luohu to Zhenhua Road in Futian, he actually changed buses three times.
labor shortage? Employment boom?
"To tell the truth, we are not sure now. We are afraid that no one will come, and we are afraid that people who come will not find jobs. This is mainly because it is difficult to grasp whether it is a labor shortage or a labor tide." On February 4th, an official of Shenzhen Labor and Social Security Bureau told China Youth Daily reporter. According to the practice of previous years, there will be two peaks for migrant workers to return to work after the holiday, one will appear from the sixth to the twelfth day of the first month, and the other will appear two or three days after the Lantern Festival.
Now, even in the downtown area of Shenzhen Guannei, recruitment banners printed by restaurants or hotels can be seen everywhere. Wang Zhanhui, manager of Tianan Property Management, told China Youth Daily that in previous years, when they were short of low-end jobs like handyman, they often couldn't find anyone, even if they raised their salary. This year, they were looking for more. As soon as they hung up, someone immediately applied.
In Luohu District, there are a few high-end leisure and entertainment centers. At night, the number of taxi drivers soliciting customers in front of their doors is obviously reduced. A high-end bowling alley named after "Xiongniu" laid off 27 people at one time because of poor efficiency, and later ended up in business.
On February 2nd, the recruiters of Shenzhen Pengji Property Management Co., Ltd. rushed to the recruitment site of "Spring Breeze Action" in the Labor and Employment Service Building early in the morning, hoping to recruit 21 community order maintainers. "We only recruited three people in the morning, mainly because there were not many people applying." The staff member said that they have been recruiting in the past few days, but they have not been fully recruited. Lvjing Property Management Co., Ltd. provides a relatively generous salary for the post of security guard, and there are more people who apply for it. But even so, the staff responsible for recruitment still complained that it was difficult to recruit people.
The recruitment staff of Art Car Barbecue House introduced that this time they are going to recruit 21 waiters with a monthly salary of RMB, including food and shelter. In the situation of the financial crisis, he thinks that the salary is not low, but strangely, there are still very few applicants.
"The service industry accounts for 31% more than the same period last year, and the number of jobs provided is also 27% higher than last year, including drivers, security guards, restaurant waiters and other positions. However, although there are tens of thousands of people attending job fairs, many service companies still complain that it is difficult to recruit people."
The relevant person in charge of Shenzhen Pengcheng Human Resource Allocation Co., Ltd., the organizer of the recruitment activity, said that the post-holiday recruitment situation this year showed that the demand of the tertiary industry has greatly increased compared with the data in the fourth quarter of last year. The total industrial demand has reached a historical turning point, and the industry is shifting from the secondary industry to the tertiary industry.
According to the Shenzhen Labor and Employment Department, due to the decline in market demand and orders, the demand for employment of enterprises has greatly decreased since the fourth quarter of last year, and the current job gap in Shenzhen has reached about 11111. In order to help migrant workers solve the employment problem, Shenzhen will hold a free job fair before the end of March, which is expected to provide more than 211,111 jobs, covering retail trade, property management, hotel catering, finance and insurance in Shenzhen.

The "Commander of Migrant Workers" asked for help for the first time
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the first working day after the Spring Festival, less than 11 a.m., the front door of Quanshun, located in Dacaopu, Pinghu Street, Shenzhen, was already crowded with migrant workers returning to work after the holiday, most of whom were young girls. Judging from the large bags of luggage piled on the ground, many people came straight here when they got off the bus. In the narrow lane in front of the door, a banner "Welcome new and old employees to go home" is particularly eye-catching.
Zhang Junying from Houzhanglou Village, Gudui Township, Suiyang District, Shangqiu City, Henan Province, and several of her fellow villagers are chewing a piece of sugar cane and loitering among people. Zhang Junying, who has four years' working experience, looks more mature than her fellow villagers. Although she can't tell what the financial turmoil is all about, she had a hunch that it would be difficult to find her this year. Before the Spring Festival, an electronics factory in Shilong, Dongguan, where she worked, had a holiday in advance because of insufficient orders. "Come early after the New Year, maybe I can have a better post." For this reason, when the country was full of flavor on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she boarded the train going south.
this morning, Zhang Quanshou, the boss of Transit, kept on "selling" his employees. "Boss, when will your factory start? My employees have arrived here. They are all girls and experienced. They worked in your place last year and can be employed at any time." Zhang's Mandarin has a strong Henan accent.
For Zhang Quanshou, the "commander of migrant workers", this Spring Festival is the most anxious one after he became a commander. Since the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, two or three hundred employees from Henan and Anhui have returned to the city every day.
Zhang Quanshou, who was born as a migrant worker, once set up a famous "transit mode": the migrant workers who went to work in the city were organized, and any factory that needed people was "packed" and transferred to another factory. When this factory was finished, it was withdrawn and transferred to another factory. Even if there was no job, the workers could eat and live in his factory for free and get subsidies from 41 yuan every day. In the era of shortage of migrant workers, Zhang Quanshou's business was getting better and better year by year, with a staff of 17,811 at most. Besides Shenzhen and Dongguan in the Pearl River Delta, Qingyuan and Shaoguan in northern Guangdong, and even Fuzhou and Xiamen, he was called "the commander of migrant workers". As a representative of migrant workers, he was elected to the National People's Congress in.
As a labor force export link in economic factors, Zhang Quanshou undoubtedly felt the chill of the financial tsunami at the earliest. Transit's customers are mostly export-oriented processing enterprises such as furniture, toys and textiles. Since last October, due to the sharp reduction in orders, some cooperative enterprises have to send migrant workers back to Transit, and Zhang has no better way but to send them back to their hometown and go home for the Spring Festival in advance.
With more and more migrant workers returning home on holiday, his team is also shrinking, and the number is gradually decreasing from 18,111 to 13,111, 11,111,, so that some media say that he is now a commander and has become a brigade commander. Although Zhang Quanshou didn't agree with this statement, the pressure he was under was real.
In fact, as a human resources enterprise, the real pressure of Transit is after the Spring Festival and when employees begin to concentrate on returning to work in the city. "In the week after the festival in previous years, I can send at least 11,111 people here, and this year it will be people. Because of the shortage of orders, the enterprises that needed important personnel last year only needed personnel this year, and some enterprises also postponed the commencement date, which forced Zhang Quanshou to take "extraordinary" measures.
"Let the girls who are arranged to work come first, boys and older people register first, stay at home and wait until the situation improves." In the past, "newcomers don't come"
