Tian Chengping, Minister of Labor and Social Security, said on March 9 that there are 24 million job-seekers in cities and towns every year, including the new additional urban workforce and the people carried over from the previous year who did not find work. But there are only a little more than 12 million jobs available in cities and towns every year. Approximately 8 million additional rural laborers move into cities and towns every year; and this phenomenon will continue for quite some time. The current employment situation remains grim.
Tian Chengping said that in the future, we should promote employment in six ways that include regulating and controlling unemployment; establishing an early warning system for unemployment; and making efforts to maintain stable employment conditions.
