Wenling shoe company started less than 200 jobs after the Spring Festival

Editor's note: There are no migrant workers after the Spring Festival. More than 2,000 SMEs started yesterday (January 30th). There are less than 200 employees. Industry insiders predict that there will be more than 40,000 labor shortages this year and there will be no more than 2,000 migrant workers after the Spring Festival. Fewer than 200 people in the small and medium-sized enterprises started yesterday (January 30th) and expected that there will be more than 40,000 labor shortages this year. (January 30) is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Taizhou people call it "Fighting Eight". One day, most companies will release their "open door guns" and start their work in a bustling manner. However, in the Hengfeng street of Wenling City, which is home to more than 2,000 shoe-making enterprises, there is no migrant worker looking for work.

The enterprise-intensive shoe industry clusters, Hengshi Road, and Hengqiu Road were deserted. After the Spring Festival, most enterprises were caught in the predicament of underemployment.

The passengers who did not return to the factory are returning to the factory. There are several parent passenger vehicles selling tickets at Buyun Road and Wuxiang Road around the Hengfeng Sub-district building. After the vehicle routes to Jiangxi, Guizhou, Anhui, and Henan, the vehicle stops. Pick up and drop off here. On the eve of the Spring Festival, returning migrant workers are often seen here.

Yesterday (January 30) morning, there was not a bus stop here, not to mention the migrant workers carrying Bags and packets to find a job.

Since the employment agency closed its doors a few years ago and companies have recruited themselves at the door, the Yuanjiao Square in the street has become a gathering place for many companies to set up booths. In the morning, it was also deserted and only a few bus stops.

“Other places have been recruiting since the seventh month of the first month. Different peaks are different, and there are not many outsiders looking for work here.” Bus driver Dai Shi said, the bus passengers have the most hearts, and there are nearly a thousand people on the side of Hengshi Road. Businesses are now shutting their doors and following a period of years ago, it is estimated that they have not yet returned to the factory.

The footwear industry gathering center of Hengfeng Sub-district which gathers more than 30 large-scale enterprises gathers in the morning. The gathering area is also deserted, and many enterprises are still the gates of “iron generals”.

Due to the small number of people coming to the office, some enterprises that have already let go of the "open door gun" haven't hung out their recruitment plans.

The shoe factory looks forward to media reports before and after the start of the Lantern Festival. “Recruitment difficulties” and “labor shortages” have spread from the coast to the mainland. About 12 million rural migrant workers work outside Anhui every year. As the labor-intensive industries in coastal areas continue to shift to Anhui, the demand for employment has drastically increased. The labor department of Anhui will hold nearly one hundred spring special action fairs in succession.

Henan, which is a major exporter of labor services, has not only set up a recruitment station at the railway station, the government has also provided funding for legal training for migrant workers.

Henan, Anhui, and other places have joined the fight and have no doubt increased the difficulty of attracting workers in coastal cities.

Wenling Bailite Shoes Co., Ltd. is expected to hire 400 sewing workers this year, 100 general workers, and several other types of work. The company’s security guard said that the recruitment guidelines were ready, but there were not many people in the park, so this recruitment brief will be retired after the tenth day.

Xu Shangxing, president of Taizhou Upstream Footwear Co., Ltd., said that his company plans to start work after the Lantern Festival, and that in addition to about 60% of the old employees returning to the factory, the company needs nearly 40% of new workers.

“Now the employees are different from the previous ones. In the past, they had fewer posts and more people. They were fighting to get out and find jobs early. Now they know that there are many posts at Hengfeng and they have plenty of choice, and they also pay special attention to the Lantern Festival, so they will have chosen After the Lantern Festival, I went out to work.
