According to the results of the national survey report on the state of the workforce released by the relevant state departments, the total number of new employment forms we have now exceeded 84 million.
The so-called new forms of employment refer to our common takeaways and couriers. This group is now growing in size, with a total of 11About 3% of employees are employed in flexible employment.
Of course, behind this data, it not only reflects the development of China's Internet-related industries in recent years, but also the severity of social employment problems.
For the vast majority of people, if everyone has a stable job and a stable income, few people must be willing to join the new form of employment, after all, whether it is a courier or a delivery person, the safety of their work is relatively low.
And now, with the continuous growth of this group, insiders analyze that it means that three major crises are coming! Let's take a look at the specifics:
Layoffs
Unemployment increases
Originally, I thought that the situation in 2023 would be better, with the end of the epidemic and the freedom of travel, there would be retaliatory consumption, a sharp increase in corporate orders, the boss made money, and employees could follow suit with a salary increase.
However, what I didn't expect was that 2023 seems to be more difficult than 2022, consumption has been downgraded, and the production efficiency of many enterprises has seen a significant increase. In order to better protect their own production and operation, many companies choose to lay off employees.
Withdrawing employees who are not needed can reduce labor costs to a certain extent. In this way, we can better ensure the flexible use of internal funds, so as to better stabilize the development of the enterprise.
But for those employees who have been kicked out, the pressure of market employment has intensified, and they cannot find a new way, so they can only choose to join the new form of employment. Even the executives of the top 100 listed companies can only choose to ride a small electric donkey and become a takeaway brother because of the difficulty in finding a job.
Some people chose to run Didi, and even later could not enter the field of express delivery, and many unemployed people simply ran to the square to set up stalls.
To put it bluntly, under the wave of layoffs, we had to face the cruel reality, and we also had to take off Kong Yiji's caftan to find a viable way for ourselves.
What is more worrying is that with the increase in the number of employees, for example, in 2024, more than 10 million fresh college students will graduate and enter the society to seek employment, and the economic environment will definitely gradually improve, but it is difficult to recover to the ideal state in a short period of time, and it is difficult for enterprises to give too many jobs this year.
In addition, with the changes in the market environment and the impact of a series of factors such as overcapacity, some industries will fall into a downturn, and even some companies may continue to lay off employees. This means that the employment situation will remain difficult this year.
Under this trend, actively changing the thinking and joining the flexible employment may become the best choice for the laid-off.
Involution and competition in the industry
More and more intense
I don't know when it began, "involution" has become a hot word on the Internet with a high degree of attention. Now more and more young people are beginning to complain that the environment they are in is too volatile.
For workers, they must work harder than other colleagues in order to "roll" good performance, so as to get the attention of upper leaders and avoid being kicked out.
No matter what time it is, we must maintain high morale and actively participate in the competition of involution. If we are slack, we are likely to be surpassed by others. Once we are surpassed, we lose the opportunity to continue upward.
In the past, in addition to the children who read the most involution, they were the workers of enterprises. Nowadays, affected by changes in the employment environment, low-level jobs have also "rolled" out of many people's imagination.
For example, we often see that undergraduate graduates apply for cleaning, graduate graduates deliver takeaways, and 985 graduates set up stalls ......
According to ** statistics, in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province alone, there are 70,000 people with a bachelor's degree or above engaged in express delivery and food delivery.
It can be seen that in an environment where the employment situation is not optimistic, it is difficult to do work in all walks of life. If you want to "live", what can you do but actively participate in it?
Income is getting less and less
I remember that when Meituan, Ele.me and other food delivery platforms were just emerging, the income of the food delivery brother was very considerable. As long as you are willing to work hard and work hard enough, you can basically achieve a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan.
Moreover, the entry threshold for the takeaway brother is relatively low, and he can basically ride an electric car and use a smartphone to deliver takeaway. After a busy day, the income is much more than working in a factory.
So in the past, many people took food delivery and express delivery as their choice. If there is really a career crisis one day, if there is really a career crisis, doing these jobs can also solve the immediate urgency, so as not to let the family fall into a situation of complete food shortage.
Now, however, this "retreat" has become crowded and even crumbling.
For example, with the doubling of the number of workers in this group, the number of orders obtained is getting smaller and smaller, and the competition within the industry is very fierce. The monthly income of tens of thousands has gradually become a thing of the past with the increase in the number of participants.
Write at the end. Some people feel that flexible employment is also a good option, at least the freedom to work hours, not only to take care of the family, but also to earn some income. Sometimes you can do it when you want to, and you can rest when you want to.
However, how many people who really enter this profession are happy and willing to choose actively?
To put it bluntly, if you have a stable job with a good income and can enjoy the protection of the company's five insurances and one housing fund, how many people are willing to take more risks and pressures to make such a helpless choice? You say, don't you?
