China News Service, July 22nd, according to the second quarter online press conference of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the employment situation in my country has remained generally stable since the beginning of this year. Basically in line with the time series, with the accelerated implementation of a package of policy measures to stabilize the economy, the employment situation is expected to continue to pick up.

　　Zhang Ying, director of the Employment Promotion Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said at the press conference that since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complex and severe international environment and the impact of the domestic epidemic, all regions and departments have resolutely implemented the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. Coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, make every effort to stabilize employment and ensure employment, and the employment situation remains generally stable.

　　Zhang Ying introduced that, first, the completion of new jobs in urban areas is basically the same as the time-series progress.

From January to June, 6.54 million new urban jobs were created across the country, completing 59% of the annual target and tasks, in line with the schedule.

From the local situation, 28 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps completed tasks faster than the schedule, but affected by the local epidemic, the progress of the three provinces was slow.

　　Second, the urban surveyed unemployment rate declined after a periodical increase.

In the first quarter, the national average urban survey unemployment rate was 5.5%, which was at a low level.

In April, it was 6.1%, which was higher due to the impact of the epidemic. In May and June, it fell continuously, at 5.9% and 5.5%, respectively.

In terms of provinces, the surveyed urban unemployment rate in most provinces is consistent with the national trend.

In terms of age groups, the surveyed unemployment rate for the 25-59 population was lower than the overall unemployment level, but the 16-24-year-olds surveyed unemployment rate increased.

　　Third, the market demand for jobs is greater than that of job seekers.

In the first half of the year, the recruitment ratio of public employment service agencies and market agencies was above 1.

Among them, the recruitment rate of 100 urban public employment service agencies in the second quarter was 1.37, a year-on-year decrease of 0.21 and a month-on-month decrease of 0.2.

Among the 100 cities, 93 cities' public employment service agencies maintained a job-seeking ratio of more than 1.

　　Fourth, the employment of urban and rural people in difficulties has increased steadily.

At the end of June, the number of migrant workers lifted out of poverty was 32.23 million, a year-on-year increase of 1.6 million. All 25 central and western provinces have completed the target tasks.

From January to June, 850,000 people with employment difficulties were employed, the same as the same period last year.

In addition, in the first half of the year, the scale of rural labor going out to work remained basically stable, and 2.5 million unemployed people were reemployed.

　　Zhang Ying said that from the perspective of the trend, with the accelerated implementation of a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, the efficient coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and the concerted efforts of all parties to focus on employment, the employment situation is expected to continue to pick up.
