11.33 million people! Complete the goal ahead of time!
Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood. With the continued efforts of the employment stabilization policy, the task of creating new jobs has been "handed in" ahead of schedule.
Statistics show that from
January to October, 11.33 million new jobs were created in cities and towns across the country, fulfilling the goal of 11 million new jobs for the whole year ahead of schedule.
In terms of the unemployment rate, in October, the national surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas was 4.9%, the same as the previous month, and a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the same period last year. It was not only lower than the same period last year, but also lower than the same period in 2019.
Judging from the employment situation of young people, the unemployment rate in the 16-24 year-old population survey was 14.2%, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the previous month, and a decline
for three consecutive months.
Fu Linghui, spokesperson for the National Bureau of Statistics, said that this shows that the employment situation of young people is gradually improving.
The main reason is that the employment of college students is gradually increasing.

10 trillion yuan! "Buy, buy, buy" growth is accelerating
Consumption is the main driving force driving China's economic growth.
Affected by the epidemic, flood conditions and other factors, the growth rate of consumption once dropped, but from October, consumption showed resilience to recovery.
Data show that the
total retail sales of consumer goods in October increased by 4.9% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 0.5 percentage points higher than the previous month, and it rebounded for two consecutive months.
Among them, online shopping exceeded the 10 trillion mark,
and the national online retail sales from January to October were 10,376.5 billion yuan
, an increase of 17.4% year-on-year.
According to Fu Linghui's analysis, the residents' enthusiasm for commodity consumption is unabated, and the "Double 11" pre-sale is also conducive to the growth of the wholesale and retail industry in October.
In October, the production index of the wholesale and retail industry increased by an average of 4% in two years, an acceleration of 0.7 percentage points from the previous month.
The National Day holiday also spurred the recovery of the accommodation and catering industry to a certain extent. The production index of the accommodation and catering industry in October increased by an average of 1.3% in two years, and the growth rate turned from a decline to an increase.
It can be said that your "buy, buy, buy" meritorious service!

1.3 trillion catties! The whole year's grain is expected to have another bumper harvest
In October, the national autumn grain harvest is coming to an end. Judging from the actual harvest in various regions, the output of autumn grain is expected to increase.
Based on an increase of 5.93 billion catties in summer grain production and 1.45 billion catties in early rice production over the previous year, the
country's total grain output is expected to reach more than 1.3 trillion catties.
It is expected that there will be another bumper harvest throughout the year, which means that there will be no shortage of food in the rice bowls of the Chinese.
In early November, Qin Yuyun, Director of the Grain Reserve Department of the State Bureau of Grain and Material Reserves, revealed that at present, China’s total grain stocks are sufficient and are at a historical high.
In particular, the two major rations of wheat and rice accounted for more than 70% of the total inventory.
Moreover, China’s grain and oil processing capacity is very strong. It can process 1.5 million tons of rice and 800,000 tons of wheat per day. That is to say, if one catty of grain per person per day is calculated, the processed rice noodles in one day will be enough for the people of the whole country to eat for two days. .
With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

CPI does not have the basis for a sharp rise
At present, prices of many commodities have risen. After soy sauce and vinegar, Fuling mustard also announced price increases on the 14th.
People are worried that prices will rise sharply in the next stage?
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, from the perspective of consumer prices, the current overall increase is relatively moderate, with a 1.5% year-on-year increase in October and a 1.3% increase in core CPI.
Fu Linghui said that in the next stage, my country's grain production is expected to have another bumper harvest. Live pig production capacity is currently recovering on the whole, and pork prices are still declining year-on-year, which will lower the increase in CPI.
At the same time, judging from the overall situation of the supply of industry and service industries, the
market supply is still relatively sufficient, and the CPI does not have the basis for a sharp rise.
"Based on these circumstances, my country's economy is expected to continue to recover steadily, and consumer prices will continue to rise moderately." Fu Linghui said.
Prior to this, the Party Committee of the People's Bank of China held a meeting on November 12, and the meeting mentioned "better support for the recovery of consumer investment and curb excessive price increases."
