NANJING (Xinhua): Spring is usually a peak hiring season in China. But this year's novel coronavirus outbreak has disrupted the pace of recruitment, especially for college graduates, and stranded a large number of migrant workers in the country's west, resulting in labour shortages in some eastern regions.
In order to mitigate the impact on employment, China has started to take a string of measures to ensure job creation, facilitate the employment of rural migrant workers and college graduates, and solve difficulties for small and household businesses.
The workers, each carrying their health certificates, boarded the chartered aircraft after body temperature measurement. After landing, they were directly picked by buses of Kunshan Q Technology Co, Ltd, a high-end camera module manufacturer, to avoid unnecessary human contact. After a series of online employment procedures, Zhou Dongxia scored a job at a local hat manufacturing factory with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan .
Large companies can withstand the impact of the epidemic over a long period, while small and medium-sized firms are more vulnerable. In a bid to stabilise employment, many companies also offer online vocational training programmes and some authorities even offer subsidies for workers taking part in the online programmes.
