Every year, a large number of graduates flood into the job market, but some cannot find their dream job, and some companies face recruitment challenges and job vacancies are difficult to fill.
According to statistics, there are more than 10 million fresh graduates in China this year. However, it is surprising that more than half of graduates believe that they will be able to earn millions a year within 10 years of graduation, while 20% of young people are unemployed.
In China, the number of people with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan accounts for only 061%, to be among them, you need to have a fairly high income level to outperform the 99% of the people in the country.
Young people's optimism about employment, coupled with high salaries in industries such as finance and the internet**, has led many people to disdain traditional industries or even be reluctant to consider them. This has led many traditional industries to fall into"Labor shortage"dilemma.
Although some traditional industries have increased their salaries, even reaching tens of thousands of yuan, it is still difficult to attract enough talents. Job hunting and recruitment are in an awkward position, why is that?
It's hard to find a job, and it's even harder to recruit people
Traditional enterprises are poorly treated
Everyone knows that the wages of traditional enterprises are very low, and this is already a well-known fact. With the continuous improvement of humanistic quality, many college graduates are reluctant to go to work in factories. Take Huawei as an example, as a high-tech company, its salary level in the industry is quite high. Every year, Huawei pays hundreds of millions of dollars in salaries to its employees. However, it is surprising that there are still employees who complain that the daily overtime pay is not calculated in an unreasonable way. If even companies like Huawei have such problems, then the situation for other companies is even less optimistic.
Traditional industries are not as good as express delivery and takeaway
Why do more and more people prefer to choose food delivery and express delivery rather than enter the traditional industry? The reason is simple: traditional jobs lack freedom, are demanding, and pay poorly. This has led many people to turn their attention to the courier and food delivery industry.
At the beginning of entering the traditional industry, the monthly income may only be three or four thousand yuan, in contrast, engaged in express delivery and takeaway, as long as you work hard to choose the right location, the monthly income can easily reach seven or eight thousand or even tens of thousands.
This is much higher than the income level of many traditional business jobs. At the same time, these industries focus on the freedom and welfare of employees, which has attracted the attention of many job seekers.
The gap between recruitment and job search
Nowadays, many startups need employees who can do a lot of things, that is, people who can handle multiple tasks, sometimes one person needs to do the work of three or four people. However, most job seekers do not have such all-round skills, and even if they do, they may not be willing to accept this kind of job.
In particular, young people born in the 90s and post-00s are more inclined to freelance or remote work because of less family pressure. This exacerbates the problem of matching between recruitment and job search, leading to an imbalance.
3 major industries are facing"Labor shortage"
The truck driver was in a hurry: running around all night, fighting for his life
With the rapid development of logistics and e-commerce, the demand for talents in the transportation industry is becoming more and more urgent. However, the majority of truck drivers at present are middle-aged people in their forties, and the proportion of young people is very small, only a small percentage. This is because truck drivers have a very special job, and in order to ensure that the goods are delivered in a timely manner, they work very irregular hours and may need to drive for seven or eight hours in a row to take a break from shift.
In the transportation industry, speed is of the essence, and long driving sessions can be challenging. Especially when driving at night, the risk is greater, and the slightest carelessness can lead to traffic accidents.
As a result, many people choose to work in relatively light jobs and are unwilling to risk putting their lives at risk.
It is difficult to employ workers in the manufacturing industry, and boredom and exhaustion are a mess
At present, China's manufacturing industry is facing a huge challenge: a shortage of 8 million workers. And these gaps are mainly found in front-line production positions, those workers who work the assembly line every day.
Why are these positions so difficult to fill? The reason is simple: too tired, too hard, too boring. Every day is repetitive and lacks challenge and fun. The work week is 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and the 996 work system is implemented. There is no human touch and no freedom. It is often necessary to work overtime or even night shifts. This kind of work lacks sunshine and a sense of belonging, which makes people feel depressed.
Even if the salary reaches tens of thousands, it is not worth it for many young people.
The construction workers are in a hurry: they are too tired to work, and their wages are in arrears
At present, China's construction industry is facing a serious problem: a shortage of 6 million workers. These gaps are mainly found in front-line construction positions, where workers are doing their toiling at heights or underground.
Why are these positions so difficult to fill? The reason is simple: physical work is too tiring, too hard, and often oppressed. It is extremely hard to engage in heavy physical labor every day. Sometimes you have to deal with harsh environments and weather, and you may even face danger and injury. Sometimes wages are owed by the contractor or the project party, and even face arrears and fraud. These problems make the workers feel helpless and aggrieved.
Resolved"Labor shortage"Enterprises have to use their brains!
1. Improve employee treatment and welfare
Hey, bosses, who wouldn't be happy as long as they were given enough money and complete benefits? For example, Tesla's factory is hot, 6 insurances and one housing fund, and family members can also enjoy it, but you can't muster up the courage to apply? The key is that bosses should pay more attention to the salary and benefits of employees, always follow up the market demand, and give employees a satisfactory treatment.
2. Strengthen staff training
With the rapid development of science and technology and the ever-changing needs of society, how can the skills of employees not keep up? Don't just squeeze dry, but give employees the opportunity to keep improving! Bosses should continue to strengthen staff training, improve their skill level, and adapt to the requirements of the new era.
3. Create a comfortable working atmosphere and corporate culture
Don't let going to work become a feeling of going to the grave, except to make money, all you can do is sleep. It is necessary to motivate employees in a variety of interesting ways to create a good working atmosphere and corporate culture. Organize sports competitions, trips, team activities, etc., so that employees can be closer to each other and enhance cohesion and a sense of belonging. Hey bosses, don't forget to care about the physical and mental health of your employees!
Everyone wants a high-income and comfortable working environment, which is the demand of the times. However, many people lack interest in traditional industries, mainly because the working methods and environments in these industries are not satisfactory. Enterprises and employees should work together to find ways to solve problems and understand each other, so as to develop together and create a better future! industry
