21st Century Business Herald reporter Bu Yuqin Shanghai report

In the first half of 2022, Hangzhou's urban town added 152,000 new jobs, maintaining a leading position in the Yangtze River Delta -level city -level city in the Yangtze River Delta. Among other provincial capital cities, 118,300 new employment positions in Nanjing cities and towns further narrowed the gap with Hangzhou, and Hefei added 72,500 people. It is worth noting that although the number of new jobs in Hangzhou cities and towns still maintains a leading position, compared with the same period in 2021, it has decreased by nearly 300,000, less than 1/3 of the same period last year.

"The decrease in the number of employment positions is mainly due to the weak economic growth in the first half of 2022." Yang Xin, director and researcher of the Yangtze Economic Belt Research Office of the Information Research Institute of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with the 21st Century Business Herald that in the first half of 2022 The total amount of GDP increased by only 1.2%year -on -year. Although the growth rate of the secondary industry was 4.1%, the progress of the tertiary industry with more labor has slowed down, and the growth rate was only 0.1%. This will inevitably lead to limited employment positions.

The number of new jobs in Hangzhou remains leading

According to public statistics, as of August 7, at least 23 prefecture -level cities in the 40 prefecture -level cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui have announced the number of new jobs in the first half of 2022. According to the data released by the work report and statistical department of the Municipal Government at the Yangtze River Delta, in the announced prefecture -level cities, in the first half of 2022, Hangzhou urban newly added 152,000 employment positions to maintain a leading position. Nanjing and Wuxi followed them closely. Later, it reached 118,300 and 79,700, respectively.

It is worth noting that although the number of new jobs in Hangzhou cities and towns still maintains a leading position, compared with the same period in 2021, it has decreased by nearly 300,000, less than 1/3 of the same period last year.

The reason, "From the perspective of the economic environment, this is mainly due to the weak economic growth in the first half of 2022." Yang Xin analyzed that the total GDP of the city in Hangzhou in the first half of 2021 increased by 12.7%in 2020, of which No. 1 The second and third industries increased by 12.6%and 13.0%year -on -year, and the service industry developed well. Especially the traditional service industry with labor -intensive service industries achieved double -digit growth, of which the growth of the restaurant industry was as high as 27.1%. Fast economic growth means that the scale of new jobs has increased. In the first half of 2022, the total amount of GDP increased by only 1.2%year -on -year. Although the growth rate of the second yield was 4.1%, the progress of the tertiary industry with more labor for labor slowly slowed down, with a growth rate of only 0.1%. This will inevitably lead to limited employment positions.

Yao Kai, a professor at the School of Management of Fudan University and Director of the Global Science and Technology Talent Development Research Center, also told a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald that the epidemic situation in 2022 was largely different from 2021. In 2021, China took the lead in recovering from the epidemic, and most other countries around the world were still in resistance, and the demand for foreign trade imports was very large. As one of the most complete domestic industrial chains, the Yangtze River Delta has driven a large part of employment. In the first half of this year, many cities in the Yangtze River Delta region of foreign trade have been reduced, and many cities' epidemic conditions have repeatedly impacted Hangzhou.

From the perspective of the industrial structure, Yao Kai said that first of all, Hangzhou's leading industry is a strategic emerging industry such as the Internet industry and biomedicine. These industries are densely science and technology and capital, not human resources dense. Secondly, as a strategic and dominant industry in Hangzhou, the Internet industry is facing the cold winter period, and the role of driving and pulling employment has weakened to a certain extent.

Yang Xin also agreed with this. She pointed out that Hangzhou is the beneficiary of the Internet economy, and Internet companies represented by Alibaba are the source of new jobs. However, with the ebb of the Internet economy, some companies have layoffs, and the ability of new employment positions will naturally weaken.

All provinces make a "combination fist" for the main body guarantee employment

In the first half of 2022, under the influence of the epidemic situation, the recruitment demand was reduced and the offline recruitment was delayed. At the same time, college graduates concentrated into the labor market to find jobs. Employment pressure was outstanding. The provinces of the Yangtze River Delta issued a series of employment measures.

For example, Jiangsu Province implemented policies such as tax refund and tax reduction, "40 Suzheng Articles", and "22" of the Soviet Political Office "and other policies. The cost of supporting enterprises for "exemption is to enjoy" exceeded 27 billion yuan.

Anhui has increased the return ratio of large enterprises from unemployment insurance to 50%, and the return ratio of small and medium -sized enterprises and other employers has increased from 60%to 90%. The implementation of small, medium and micro enterprises and other employers to return funds for the "exemption of direct hair", exempting procedures for reporting and review directly. As of the end of May, the province's unemployment insurance funds have returned 1.524 billion yuan.

In response to the difficulties of graduates, Zhejiang has held 2926 online and offline job fairs, 26.14 million in various types of positions, 1.878 billion yuan in entrepreneurial guarantee loans, and 24,700 entrepreneurship.

"In order to cope with the pressure of employment on the impact of the epidemic, a series of policies have been introduced in all parts of the Yangtze River Delta. Through the employment of key groups and other key groups such as relieving exemption, increasing stability and stability, and helping college migrant workers, and increasing occupations to increase occupations Measures such as skill training input stabilize employment. These measures have played a certain effect, but they have not fully achieved the expected goal. "Yang Xin pointed out that the employment data of the three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta are significantly lower than that of Anhui. same time last year. In the first half of 2021, Shanghai added 400,000 new jobs, 252,900 in the same period this year. In the first half of 2021, Jiangsu Province increased by 780,000. This year, it increased by less than 700,000. Anhui Province was basically flat 355,000 in 2021, 353,000 this year, Zhejiang, Zhejiang. In the first half of this year, the province increased by 600,000, a year -on -year decrease of 4.9%. Next, how can the Yangtze River Delta region further stabilize the market and stabilize employment?

Yang Xin suggested that the combination of employment has a certain effect from the current point of view, which will alleviate the economic downward employment pressure, but the role of new jobs is still limited. The top priority of stabilizing the main body of the market is to use more forces to boost the economy, do their best to restore production, and promote consumption. In particular, we must pay attention to the recovery of labor -intensive tertiary industries, especially the productive service industry and traditional services Industry, help small and micro enterprises' production self -rescue. In addition to continuing existing policies in employment, it is necessary to find specific reasons for frictional unemployment and structural unemployment to give targeted countermeasures.

Yao Kai believes that stabilizing and extending posts also need to pay attention to the construction of management mechanisms, service mechanisms and ecological environments that are conducive to promoting long -term employment, and improve employment toughness. For example, in terms of talent training, we can cultivate and transport talents through school -enterprise cooperation, providing enterprises with specific needs of talents to colleges and universities, and promoting seamless connection between enterprises and universities.
