Shunde "furniture capital" lack of work 40,000 lack of supply has caused industry vigilance

Lecong and Longjiang furniture manufacturing shortages have affected the sales industry

"I can't do it now! Can I delay it for a few days? I can't help if the workers don't come!" Yesterday morning, Ms. Sun, the boss of a furniture factory in Lecong Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, explained to the customer on the phone. A reporter from the New Express reported that the factories in Lecong Town, Shunde, the capital of China's furniture trade, and Longjiang Town, the capital of China's furniture manufacturing, all have difficulties in employing workers. Even if the wages of furniture employees rise by 20%, few people still apply. According to Wu Yaofan, president of the Lecong Town Furniture Industry Association, the total number of thousands of workers missing from thousands of furniture factories in the two towns is estimated to be 40,000.

400 companies posted notices in only 3 hours

Whether the factory is short of staff and whether there are enough job-seekers, the talent market is a "barometer". Yesterday, the reporter visited the recruitment markets in Lecong Town and Longjiang Town in Shunde and found that this year's recruitment companies are not fewer than in previous years, but there are far fewer job-seekers.

A reporter from the New Express saw at the gate of the Longshan talent market in Longjiang Town that ten recruitment red cards were placed in the market, followed by six large banners about 2 meters high, full of recruitment information. In a basketball court-sized room, 18 wooden boards of 3 square meters are arranged in nine rows. Each wooden board is posted with recruitment posters. The reporter roughly counted that at least 20 wooden boards can be posted. There are more than 400 wooden boards. Companies post information here. But the reporter found at the scene that less than 100 people saw the job search information within 3 hours. According to Miss Long, the person in charge of the talent market, every year is the peak season for recruitment from the fourth year to March. "Last year from the beginning of the seventh day of the year, the whole venue was crowded. We always worried that the board will be squeezed down and cause an accident." She said, "This year the number of recruiting companies is the same as in previous years, there are more than 500, but came There are really few candidates, and there are only 2,000 people in the two most prosperous days after the year. "

Miss Long said that in order to recruit people, most companies have increased their salaries by about 20%. The wages of handymen have increased from 1,700 yuan to 2,200 yuan in the past, and the wages of skilled workers have also increased by three or four hundred yuan, but the effect is not great. .

The monthly salary has risen by 700 yuan

Yesterday morning, the reporter came to the Nancun Industrial Zone in Lecong Town to learn about the factory's employment. The reporter saw that basically all the factories in the industrial zone have newly posted recruitment notices. A company called Ao × Furniture Factory has posted an unlimited number of recruiters. momentum.

"It's difficult to recruit workers now! You can't start work across the board now. Many customers are urging for goods ..." Ms. Sun, the owner of the factory, began to "complain" when she heard the reporter's intention. According to Ms. Sun, under normal circumstances, there are 30 workers who can meet the demand for employment. The current shortage of workers is serious. In order to recruit workers after the year, she called around to ask someone to find someone. The salary of her employees also rose from 1800 yuan last year to 2500 yuan now, but only four workers were recruited from the sixth day of the year to the present.

The reporter visited the Xiantang Industrial Zone in Longjiang Town where furniture manufacturing enterprises gathered, and saw that almost every factory erected a "recruitment" billboard at the door. On the 1st Road in the Eastern District, Foshan Max Furniture Co., Ltd., which specializes in the manufacture of soft beds, specially produced exquisite inkjet recruitment advertisements, placed prominently at the intersections, and "highly-recruited" carpentry, paving, and wagon workers.

Mr. Huang, the head of the company ’s recruitment, told reporters that they started recruiting workers from the eighth day of the new year, and only recruited some until yesterday. The company increased the guaranteed minimum wage by about 10%, but it is still 8-10 production workers and some special. Skilled workers.

7000 yuan is difficult to find a cooked planner many factories do while waiting

In the Nanwei Industrial Zone, Shuiteng, Lecong Town, Jin × Furniture Factory posted a job advertisement in front of the door, but the factory was quiet and only the security guard was at work. According to the security guard, the construction started normally before and after the Lantern Festival, but the people who came back this year were particularly late, and the factory is currently in the state of "waiting while doing". It is reported that the factory has to recruit many handymen, solid wood bottom oil workers and rice cooks. Among them, the wages of handymen rose from 1,500 yuan to 1,700 yuan, but no one applied.

Subsequently, the reporter investigated in the surrounding factories and found that this area is almost all companies related to furniture manufacturing. The jobs recruited are mainly carpentry, lathe, car parking, handyman and other types of work, but the salary is rarely indicated. However, Dayou XX Business Furniture Company clearly offered a salary of 6,500 yuan to the master of oil retouching, and another company gave a high salary of 7,000 yuan to the skilled planer, but there were few candidates.

According to the data released by the Foshan Employment Service Center, the entire Foshan City is expected to have 80,000 jobless enterprises after the holiday. Among them, ordinary workers account for about 80%, and skilled workers account for about 20%. However, Wu Yaofan analyzed that although there is no special statistics, the number of workers in the manufacturing centers of Lecong and Longjiang, the two major Chinese furniture industries, is at least 40,000.

According to Wu Yaofan ’s analysis, in Lecong Town, there are more than 1,000 furniture companies in the country, with nearly 100,000 local employees and tens of thousands of people from other places. According to his data, most companies only have about 80% of their employees. This means that the furniture industry in Lecong Town has a labor gap of 20,000 or 30,000.

Job seekers say

The job change is not only because the salary development space is more valuable

Why are there so few candidates? What do the current workers think? The reporter saw in the Longshan Talent Market of Longjiang Town that most of the young people who came to see the posters for job recruitment. Their demands for careers do not stop at wages.

"Money is only part of it. I want development." Xiao Liang, who accompanied friends to see recruitment information, is 24 years old, but has been working in Lecong for 8 years, and was an assembly worker in a paint factory for the first 7 years. "My salary was 600 yuan eight years ago, and it has risen to 2,000 yuan before I changed jobs. The boss is also very kind to me, but I don't want to do it anymore." Xiaoliang said, he can't do manual work all his life.

After the New Year, Xiaoliang introduced to another paint factory for assembly through acquaintances, and the monthly salary was also 2,000 yuan. "But it has changed a lot." Xiaoliang said, "The first is that you can only get 2,000 yuan more at the end of the year, and more than 5,000 yuan here; the second is that the previous boss only let me do the assembly, but the current boss allows me Through my own efforts to find customers, so that I can grow up. "

Ms. Ye, who has been working in a furniture factory in Lecong for 3 years, also said that she hopes to learn more. "There are a lot of software to master in finance. The factory software I made before is already very backward, so I will be behind."

Depth influence

The lack of factory supply has caused industry vigilance

The reporter visited nearly ten furniture manufacturing factories in Lecong Town and Longjiang Town yesterday, and found that all of them had serious shortage of work. Many factories were unable to start all lines, which led to a linear decline in production efficiency and insufficient supply. .

The reporter saw at the Red Star XX Long Furniture Wholesale Expo Center in Lecong Town that the whole shopping mall was relatively deserted, and many waiters sat in the shop to rest. According to the waiter, they are not officially working, and some employees have not come back. In addition, the supply of designated factories is insufficient, so ordinary customers who come to order will tell the other party that they will take a few days at night.

According to Miss He, who is responsible for contacting the factory with the mall management office, the lack of factory supply will definitely have a certain impact on the sales of the mall. However, this effect is only beginning to show. The specific data needs special investigation and statistics.

Wu Yaofan, chairman of Lecong Town Furniture Industry Association, confirmed this situation. According to his understanding, the entire Lecong furniture sales industry has been affected to a certain extent due to insufficient factory supplies. Although it is not very serious, it should cause the entire industry to be vigilant. .
