Hey there! Did you know that even during big holidays, China is keeping its jobs steady? Let’s find out how!
Every year, China celebrates the Spring Festival, which is like a super fun New Year’s party that lasts for days! 🎉 During this time, many people take a break from work to be with their families. Because of this, the number of people working can change a bit.
In January and February, China’s unemployment rate was about 5.3%. This means that out of every 100 people, about 5 didn’t have a job. That’s the same as last year! Even though the rate went up a little in February (to 5.4% from 5.2% in January), it’s normal because of the holiday.
Mr. Fu Linghui, a spokesperson, said that China is working hard to create more jobs. They’re improving old industries and starting new ones, which means more opportunities for everyone! 🚀
But they also know that there’s more work to do. The world is a bit tricky right now, and they want to make sure the economy stays strong.
China aims to keep the unemployment rate around 5.5% this year and wants to create over 12 million new jobs in cities! That’s like adding jobs for the entire population of some big countries!
With all these efforts, China is hoping to keep everyone happily working, even during the holidays! 😊
