Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 22 (Reporter Zhou Wenqi, Yang Dingmiao, Wang Xuetao) Zhang Yongbin, a 22-year-old fresh graduate of Nantong University, was worried about the future.

He transferred from textile engineering to biotechnology in the second year of his sophomore year. He was once worried that it would be difficult to find a satisfactory job due to factors such as the short time of professional study and the poor information connection caused by the epidemic.

　　However, in the current graduation season, Zhang Yongbin has gained a lot, and many well-known biological companies such as Pumis have issued employment notices to him.

"The school uses the 'Famous Enterprises and Excellent Enterprises Direct Train', special vehicles to pick up graduates for 'point-to-point' interviews and contracts, and invite employers in 'small-scale, sub-topic, and multiple batches', which not only meets the needs of campus epidemic prevention and control, but also promotes The precise connection between employment supply and demand." He is very grateful to his alma mater.

　　Shi Weidong, president of Nantong University, said that the school will increase employment assistance for graduates from financially disadvantaged families and minority students to achieve full coverage of targeted assistance.

　　Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood.

This year's National Two Sessions, the signal of stable employment has been released continuously.

Many deputies discussed expanding employment capacity and fostering new employment momentum, and offered suggestions for improving the employment support system for key groups and alleviating structural employment conflicts.

　　The government work report on economic and social work for one year put forward that "over 11 million new urban jobs will be created, and the urban surveyed unemployment rate will be controlled within 5.5% throughout the year" - the former figure is the same as last year's target, and the latter figure is higher than that of last year. The requirement was higher at around 5.5% last year.

　　This is against the background that the number of new urban laborers who need employment this year has reached the highest level in many years, reaching about 16 million, and the number of college graduates has hit a record high and is expected to exceed 10 million.

　　China has always placed employment at the top of its economic and social development, and has innovatively implemented employment-first policies to promote positive progress in employment work.

Even though it has been hit by the epidemic in the past two years, China has still completed the task of stabilizing employment.

　　In 2020, China will create 11.86 million new urban jobs, which is higher than the goal of "more than 9 million".

In 2021, China will achieve 12.69 million new urban jobs, which will continue to exceed the goal of "more than 11 million".

　　At the end of last year, the National Development and Reform Commission, in conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, issued a plan in advance of 4.05 billion yuan for the central government to connect and promote rural revitalization subsidy funds in 2022.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, up to now, a total of more than 500 million yuan in red envelopes and employment subsidies have been issued in various places.

　　From the implementation of the new combined tax and fee support policy to the promotion of reducing the production and operation costs of enterprises, from strengthening the effective financial support for the real economy to the implementation of measures to stabilize employment, at present, China continues to increase the implementation of macro policies, improve the burden reduction and relief Hardship policies, focusing on stabilizing market players and ensuring employment.

　　Wearing a uniform and neat blue overalls, Zheng Renren, who has just joined the job, has been able to skillfully thread the shifting cable for the bicycle.

"Under the influence of the epidemic, it is really good to find such a stable job," he said.

Like Zheng Renren, nearly a thousand new employees will join Tianjin Jinlun Bicycle Group Co., Ltd. in 2021.

　　Yang Chunxiao, human resources director of Tianjin Jinlun Bicycle Group Co., Ltd., said that benefiting from various tax preferential policies, small and micro enterprise loan interest rate preferential policies, and employee training subsidy policies launched by Tianjin, it has helped reduce the production and operation costs of enterprises, so as to absorb more Many employees are employed, and output is rising steadily.

　　Zhao Xijun, a professor at the School of Finance of Renmin University of China, said that compared with the past, the current policy measures to ensure employment are stronger, wider in scope, and more timely in time. The goal of employment is connected, indicating that all departments are working together to achieve the goal of employment.

　　Stabilizing the macroeconomic market and maintaining the economic growth rate in the medium-to-high speed range is another major driving force for achieving the employment goal.

　　In February, the national urban surveyed unemployment rate was 5.5%, up 0.2 percentage points from the previous month.

Fu Linghui, a spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics, said that the rise in the urban surveyed unemployment rate was mainly due to seasonal factors.

　　In 2022, China's GDP growth target is around 5.5%.

According to estimates by Chen Bin, an associate researcher at the Economic Forecasting Department of the State Information Center, more than a decade ago, every 1% increase in GDP could create more than 1 million jobs.

Now, as the economy expands, every one percentage point increase in GDP can create more than 2 million jobs.

"Therefore, a GDP growth rate of around 5.5% can fully drive more than 11 million jobs."

　　There are more than 150 million market entities, and the added value of the service industry, which is highly employable, accounts for over 55% of GDP. New technologies, new business formats, and new models are flourishing. An epidemic prevention and anti-epidemic system that can ensure safe production and life, and can handle complex situations. Macro-control measures... will continue to be China's unique advantages to ensure the overall stability of the employment situation in 2022.

　　A series of "policy combination punches" highlight China's determination and confidence in coping with risks and challenges and ensuring employment.

"At present, national ministries and local governments are implementing and implementing employment policies in accordance with the requirements of the government work report to ensure that this year's employment goals are completed as scheduled." Zhao Xijun said.
