It's a good start, and a new snake dance journey! In recent days, people who have returned to work with special trains, chartered vehicles, special planes, etc. have rushed to major labor provinces. Job fairs have been held intensively to match the supply and demand sides, and live broadcasts have allowed employment services to touch the "screen"... Press the "fast forward button" to return to work in various places, and China is busy again.

Employment connects the well-being of life of thousands of households and also concerns the overall development of the country. For individuals, an ideal job is the starting point for pursuing a happy life; as far as the macro economy is concerned, maintaining overall stability of the employment situation is the key support for the smooth economic cycle. In 2024, with the joint efforts of all parties, a total of 12.56 million new urban jobs were created throughout the year, and the average urban surveyed unemployment rate was 5.1%. The State Council Executive Meeting held on January 17 this year pointed out that we must adhere to employment priority, strengthen policy support, training empowerment, and service assistance, and strive to promote high-quality and full employment.

Carrying out public employment service activities is an important measure to promote the matching of labor supply and demand. At present, the 2025 Spring Breeze Action with the theme of "Spring Breeze delivers jobs to promote employment and precise services to warm people's hearts" is in full swing. This action aims to enable workers to find suitable positions by building platforms, expanding channels, and promoting cooperation, so that enterprises can recruit satisfactory talents and achieve win-win results in the "two-way rushing". This will not only support the people's "stable happiness", but will also help the economy achieve a "good start" in the first quarter.

This year's Spring Breeze Action has many highlights. On the one hand, highlight key groups. For example, Shanxi Yuncheng focuses on rural workers, unemployed young people, college graduates and other key groups to hold recruitment activities, and organized a total of 356 high-quality enterprises in key fields and key industries to participate, providing more than 30,000 jobs. On the other hand, weave a tight offline "service network". Many places have launched a free 7-day plan for college graduates to stay for jobs. Some job fairs quote AI intelligent service robots on site, and some townships organize employment "caravans" to go around the streets... As the saying goes, employment services will follow wherever workers gather.

It is good to teach people how to fish, but you should not forget to teach people how to fish. Taking order-based training as an example, at a special job fair in Nanning, Guangxi, a pairing signing ceremony for vocational skills training to help industrial talent training was held simultaneously on the spot. Six technical colleges and six enterprises paired up and built together, and the cooperation directions covered the development of new quality productivity such as new energy vehicle testing and maintenance, electrical automation, and industrial robots. For all localities, it is better to carry out vocational skills training based on actual conditions, which will not only help solve the current employment problems, but also lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of workers.

"Spring breeze delivers jobs" is just the first step, allowing workers to do well and keep, and there is still a lot of work to be done. After all, relying on "funding" to retain people, we must warm people with our hearts. To this end, relevant departments can improve policies and measures in housing, education, medical care, etc., so that public services can further cover more migrant workers. Enterprises start from the details, effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees, create a good atmosphere of respecting and caring for employees, and allow workers to work decently and live comfortably.

"Spring breeze brings jobs", "job" leads to the future, and "job" leads to happiness. When the employment dreams of thousands of workers are lit up, it will surely inspire the vitality of China's economy to "several sails compete" in succession. (Mr. Zifang, commentator of China Economic Network)
