Figures show the jobless rate in China’s Pearl River Delta region has eased since May. Employee demand for Guangzhou and Dongguan increased 15 percent in May, and 10 percent in June. Shenzhen had its first employee shortage in April, and some job seekers have received more than two company offers.
Cai Huanxing, Inspector of Shenzhen Labor & Social Sec. Bureau said “Most of the job offers come from the machinery and manufacturing sectors. Based on our estimates, Shenzhen is short of 100,000 workers right now.”
Although the demand for employees is rising, many job seekers are still holding a “wait and see? attitude. About 600,000 migrant workers have left China’s industrial heartland, as the world economic crisis hits the region. That’s why companies in the Pearl River Delta region are suffering recruitment difficulties.
Human Resourves Rep. of Shenzhen Company said “We need 300 workers. But we have actually only 3 people. Obviously that number is way below our target.”
