The scale of employment continues to expand, laying a solid foundation for high-quality economic and social development.

Skilled talents leap to a new level
In the past decade, the employment structure has been continuously optimized.
The increase in income is related to the vital interests of the people.
In the stage of high-quality development, improving the lives of residents by improving the quality of employment is both a practical need and a long-term plan.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the employment quality of workers has been further improved, and the wage level of workers has increased significantly.
Data from the National Statistical Yearbook shows that the wage level of employees has gradually increased, and the average annual wage of employees in urban non-private units has increased from 46,769 yuan in 2012 to 97,379 yuan in 2020, an increase of 50,610 yuan over 2012; the average annual wage of employees in urban private units From 28,752 yuan in 2012 to 57,727 yuan in 2020, an increase of 28,975 yuan over 2012.

These data show that the employment quality of Chinese workers has been comprehensively improved.
At the same time, the skill level of workers has also improved significantly.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the care of skilled talents, and has made important instructions on the work of skilled talents many times, emphasizing the need to improve the training, use, evaluation, and incentive systems of skilled talents, and encourage the majority of young people to become talents with skills and serve the country with skills. road.

This is the realization of high-quality development of my country's economy. solid foundation.
System guarantees precise force
In the past ten years, the priority of employment has warmed the hearts of the people.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party and the government have always adhered to the people-centered approach, gradually clarified the goal of "achieving more adequate and higher-quality employment", placed employment at the top of the "six stability" and "six guarantees" work, and insisted on giving priority to employment. , solidly promoted various work, and maintained the overall stability of the employment situation.
In the face of the development needs of domestic transformation and upgrading, as well as the challenges and difficulties of the century epidemic and international uncertainties, the employment priority policy regards employment indicators as the basis for the adjustment of macro-control orientation, and the active employment policy continues to increase its weight to promote fiscal, financial, investment, consumption and consumption. , industry and other policies to support employment.
In 2021, in order to support market entities in stabilizing employment, the central government will further implement the policy of reducing burdens, stabilizing jobs and expanding employment, adjusting and optimizing policies and measures such as job stabilization returns and employment subsidies, spending nearly 100 billion yuan in employment subsidies throughout the year; disbursing to 4.07 million enterprises Unemployment insurance has returned 23.1 billion yuan to stabilize jobs, benefiting 92.34 million employees; the unemployment and work-related injury insurance premiums have been reduced by more than 150 billion yuan in stages.
The market plays a decisive role in promoting employment.
The establishment of a unified, open, competitive and orderly human resources market system provides a good ecological environment for mass entrepreneurship and innovation, innovation and entrepreneurship drive employment, form a new pattern of two-way choice between supply and demand, workers' self-employment and entrepreneurship, and promote the rational flow of human resources and Valid configuration.

It is worth mentioning that in recent years, employment and poverty alleviation work has played a huge role.
During the implementation of the poverty alleviation strategy, more than 90% of the registered impoverished population received industrial poverty alleviation and employment poverty alleviation support, and more than two-thirds mainly relied on going out to work and industrial poverty alleviation.
A total of 32,688 poverty alleviation workshops have been built in my country, absorbing 437,000 jobs for the poor.
Practice has proved that the implementation of the poverty alleviation strategy and the rural revitalization strategy has promoted the growth rate of rural residents' income to continue to be higher than that of urban residents, and has become the main reason for the continuous narrowing of the urban-rural gap.
At present and for a period of time in the future, my country is still facing the pressure of total employment and structural contradictions, and achieving more adequate and higher-quality employment is still a major long-term strategic task.
By 2025, my country will achieve more than 55 million new urban jobs, and control the urban surveyed unemployment rate within 5.5%, so that the people can obtain more stable jobs and more satisfactory income, and better promote common prosperity.
