Zhejiang Recruitment Team brought more than 10,000 jobs to Sichuan Bazhong and cross-province to recruit workers. Hunan, Guizhou and other places arranged special trains to help migrant workers return to work with peace of mind... At the beginning of the New Year, recruitment activities in various places were "specialized but refined" and "many but beautiful", and employment showed a good momentum and new atmosphere. At present, we need to take advantage of the momentum and implement precise policies, ensure stable employment and promote employment, and consolidate the most basic people's livelihood.

Industrial upgrading activates new employment momentum, and new business forms create new demand for employment. Since the beginning of the year, technology companies represented by Hangzhou's "Six Little Dragons" have been developing strongly, and positions such as algorithm engineers and AI data analysts are very popular. As China's economy accelerates its transformation and upgrading, emerging industries and future industries such as artificial intelligence, low-altitude economy, and new energy vehicles are booming. New business forms such as ice and snow economy, silver economy, and initial economy are constantly emerging, bringing new market trends and becoming new employment growth points, continuously stimulating the endogenous driving force of economic development, and accumulating the "source fresh water" of continuous surging to stabilize employment.

Although the external environment is complex and changing, and economic operation and business operations face challenges, judging from the supply and demand situation of the labor market after the holiday, market confidence is generally recovering. The 2025 Spring Breeze Action will organize "employment and visit the people" and "visit enterprises and needs" to help workers increase their employment and income and enterprises stabilize production and operation. The proportion of migrant workers returning to work in many places such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta is higher than the same period last year, and enterprises are starting to work steadily. Offline consumption is hot during this year's Spring Festival, and the order volume of many companies continues to grow and job demand increases. A new batch of major projects have been started and the "two-fold" and "two-new" policies have continued to be put into effect... This sends a positive signal of development and adds more impetus to stabilize jobs and promote employment.

To continue the good momentum of employment at the beginning of the year, it is necessary to consolidate it with better assistance and services. The current total employment pressure and structural contradictions coexist, and the phenomenon of "difficulty in recruiting workers" and "difficulty in employment" coexist in some areas. All localities and departments should grasp the key window period for post-holiday employment, support small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises to absorb employment, and use "real money" to support enterprises to stabilize employment; further promote the quality, expand the quantity and structure of skilled talents, and carry out "order-based training" to meet industrial needs to help workers fill the skill gap and provide talent growth channels; at the same time, we should increase employment support for key groups and do a good job in protecting the rights and interests of workers in flexible employment and new employment forms.

Employment is the greatest livelihood for people. If employment is stable, the overall situation will be stable. Promote the expansion of employment space through industrial upgrading, solve institutional bottlenecks with policy innovation, and stimulate market vitality with high-quality services. The joint efforts of all parties will enable more workers to stabilize their "rice bowls" and create shared development results together.
