Shenzhen employment market warms up
The employment market in south China's major manufacturing hub of Shenzhen is heating up. According to the Shenzhen employment authority, the city requires 20-thousand more workers.
Workers are needed in sectors like printing, civil engineering, office maintenance, real estate and education.
Officials say the current labor shortage is due to both rising productivity of manufacturers and a massive return home of migrant workers in the last few months of 2008. But the employment situation has yet to return to its ideal past.
Before the global financial chaos there were 1.27 jobs available for every worker. Now that number has been reduced to only 1.04.
