 Possibly speaking, the province’s labor market in early this year is thriving. Many businesses need to urgently recruit laborers, especially unskilled ones for their production and trading activities.

 Policies attracting laborers

 Before the labor shortage, province-based businesses have directly traveled to other localities to seek laborers while many others have called for laborers to introduce their relatives and friends to them.

 To attract more laborers, in addition to the policies on salary, insurance…as stipulated, many businesses have also provided incentive policies on housing, transport service…among others for laborers. They also need to recruit laborers without working experience and are ready to provide them with training courses. During the apprenticeship period, these laborers still enjoy salaries and other allowances.

 Despite incentive policies launched, many businesses have still faced a serious shortage of laborers, especially unskilled ones, so they have rushed to hunt laborers for their production and trading activities.
