2026-02-28   

In the first week of construction, many parts of the country quickly returned to work, with migrant workers rushing to their posts, enterprises working hard to attract talents, and the recruitment market experiencing both supply and demand. The reporter's interview found that many human resources and social security departments have taken the initiative and provided advanced services, strengthening overall planning and protection through inter provincial labor cooperation and other means. The recruitment boom since the beginning of the year has shown a new trend of optimizing employment structure and upgrading employment demand, reflecting the positive trend of steady improvement in China's employment market. At the beginning of the Year of the Horse, the labor market continued to heat up. Recently, reporters saw at the human resources market in Longxi County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province that migrant worker Zhang Xiaobing is preparing to take the "Longxi Nanjing Employment Express" to Nanjing. I have been doing odd jobs in my hometown before, and my income was very unstable. A while ago, village officials posted job postings in a WeChat group. When I saw the position offered by SAIC Maxus Automotive Co., Ltd. Nanjing Branch, the salary and benefits were very generous, so I immediately applied. ”Zhang Xiaobing told reporters that this is his first time working in Nanjing, and the human resources company has arranged a free shuttle bus that goes "point-to-point" directly to the entrance of the enterprise, making travel convenient and worry free. Xue Liaojun, the person in charge of Dingxi Youzhi Recruitment Human Resources Co., Ltd., is the organizer of this operation. He introduced that on that day, this special train carried 52 migrant workers from Longxi. As of now, the Longxi County Return to Work Guarantee Action has transferred 655 people through "point-to-point, one-stop" methods such as work trains and work buses, and has transferred a total of 46000 surplus labor force from urban and rural areas. With the help of the government, our labor cooperation channels with employing enterprises continue to expand. The demand for employment in emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, semiconductors, and photovoltaics continues to grow, and they have all reached cooperation agreements with us. ”Xue Liaojun stated that most of the migrant workers who went to Nanjing this time were skilled talents who were suitable for the development of the automotive industry. Behind the wave of returning to work and resuming work is the concentrated release of labor demand from enterprises. Recently, labor exporting provinces such as Guizhou and Ningxia have launched intensive activities for the 2026 Spring Breeze Action and Employment Assistance Season, accurately matching the needs of major labor consuming provinces such as Zhejiang and Guangdong. They have successively launched "point-to-point" special trains and vehicles for migrant workers, achieving seamless connection from the "doorstep" to the "doorstep" of the factory, and fully ensuring the production and employment of enterprises. At the same time, the job market is showing a new trend of accelerating the shift towards high-quality and new fields in job supply. On February 26th, at the "Trillion Wenzhou Immediate Employment" New Year Recruitment and Care Activity held at Wenzhou Railway South Station, the recruitment area was divided into themed exhibition areas such as "One Port, Five Grains", home service, digital employment, etc., gathering 50 high-quality enterprises and providing more than 4700 positions covering equipment manufacturing, electronic information, new energy, home service and other fields. The event site was crowded with people, and the "Artificial Intelligence OPC Entrepreneurship Zone", which debuted for the first time, received a lot of attention. This special zone integrates 22 OPC (one person company) recruitment parks and platforms in the city, providing over 800 entrepreneurial workstations. Consultants from platforms such as Wenzhou New Generation Intelligence Incubator and China (Wenzhou) Shu'an Port are constantly coming to the exhibition booths. We attended the conference to explore high-quality OPC entrepreneurial projects and to attract various professionals in the field of artificial intelligence. ”Xu Xingwei, the manager of the New Generation Building and the general manager of Zhejiang Meiri Dongtai Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that the OPC new business model is rapidly developing, and the company is recruiting OPC training professionals to form a dedicated training team and provide accompanying services for cooperative enterprises. This job fair highlights the industry led employment orientation, conforms to the trend of digital economy development and new forms of employment, extends employment services to entrepreneurship support, encourages more 'super individuals' to come to Wenzhou for entrepreneurship and development, and stimulates new momentum; And special zones such as' One Port, Five Grains' represent the direction of emerging industries in Wenzhou, making it convenient for relevant talents to quickly focus and enterprises to quickly attract talent. ”The relevant person in charge of Wenzhou Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau stated. Busy with labor and full of vitality. Driven by the upgrading of industrial structure, emerging industries such as low altitude economy, new materials, new energy vehicles, and artificial intelligence continue to release talent demand, becoming new engines for driving employment. According to data from Zhilian Recruitment, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the number of recruitment positions in the high-end equipment field in the robotics industry increased by 37.3% year-on-year, ranking among the top in terms of growth rate; In the field of new generation information technology, the artificial intelligence industry has the fastest growth rate, with a year-on-year increase of 19.0%. Recently, the policy of stabilizing employment has been continuously strengthened, injecting strong momentum into the recovery of the job market. Recently, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and nine other departments deployed the 2026 Spring Breeze Action and Employment Assistance Season activities, and various regions are carrying out in-depth actions. In addition, a series of specific deployments such as "implementing stable employment, expanding capacity, and improving quality actions" and "launching employment support measures for key industries" have been clearly defined, releasing positive policy signals. Zhang Chenggang, Director of the China New Employment Form Research Center at Capital University of Economics and Business, believes that from the post holiday trend of returning to work and the booming recruitment market in various regions, the overall employment market in China has maintained a stable and steadily improving development pattern since the beginning of 2026. Next, relevant departments should work together to accurately match the needs of industrial development, strengthen employment security for key groups, promote efficient adaptation of job supply and market demand, and unleash stronger vitality in the stable operation of the job market. ”Zhang Chenggang said.
