National Bureau of Statistics: Some industries and key groups are under pressure in employment, and the structural contradiction of both difficult employment and difficult recruitment still remains prominent.

On September 15, Fu Linghui, the spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics, stated at a press conference of the State Council Information Office that overall, in the face of complex and changing external environment, as well as the continuous pressure on the total employment and structure domestically, various parties have been actively taking measures and intensifying efforts to stabilize employment policies. The overall employment situation remains stable, which is not easy. In the next stage, we need to not only see the favorable conditions such as stable economic operation, cultivation of new quality productivity, and effective employment policies, but also recognize that some industries and key groups are under pressure, and the structural contradictions of employment difficulties and labor shortages are still prominent. We need to further stabilize employment and the economy, strengthen vocational skills training, improve the matching of labor supply and demand, promote high-quality and full employment, further improve people's livelihoods, promote stable and healthy economic development, and maintain overall social stability.
