Orders are back but not workers. No answer to his job offers and no one to recruit at the city’s employment fair. Like his colleagues, Yang Zongfu can’t find workers to come work in his jean plant in Xitang, an industrial city near Shanghai. And yet, his order book is filling up again. The problem is the same in all ‘made in china’ regions. Be it toy, shoes or electronic manufacturers, activities with a lot of workers and driving force for Chinese exports, no one can hire. According to the 21st Century Business Herald, 120,000 workers are needed in Shenzhen, special economic area on the border with Hong Kong. 250,000 are needed in Zhejiang, in the east, another province oriented towards exports. Therefore, some plants offer free meals, dorms with air conditioning, and additional paid leave to try and attract workers.
