In the cold wind on the 9th, No. 46 Shenyang Road became a bustling job market where many migrant workers gathered in thick coats, searching for temporary work. Among a group of middle-aged individuals, a young man with an avant-garde style stood out. His tall and well-built appearance drew attention from several job agents who quickly introduced him to potential employers. One restaurant owner from Minjiang 2nd Road in Shinan District offered him a position: “Come work in Western food, mainly pizza.†When asked about the salary, he replied, “2,300 yuan a month.†Upon hearing this, the young man immediately turned away.
Liu, the young man whose surname is Liu, is only 20 years old and hails from Pingdu. Two years ago, he started working at a hotel in the city. Initially, he was diligent and hardworking, gaining his boss's trust. However, after nearly six months, his monthly salary still remained below 2,000 yuan, which left him discouraged and led to his resignation. With the help of his cousin, he found another job in a different hotel, where the salary was slightly better—over 2,000 yuan per month. But the monotonous daily tasks made it unbearable, and he soon quit again. During this time, he also started dating a girlfriend, and the rising expenses forced him to look for more stable employment. He worked in a hotel kitchen and tried various jobs, but none provided long-term satisfaction.
After the Spring Festival, when his peers gathered and shared their experiences, Liu felt increasingly pessimistic about the future in the hospitality industry. As a result, he resigned once more. "Wages over 2,000 are still too low," he said. "I usually go to the movies and eat with my girlfriend. Every month, I’m just a 'moonlight family.' This time, I want to find a job that pays 3,000 yuan a month." Looking ahead, Liu hopes to learn technical skills as an apprentice in a factory, believing that he is still young and should seek more development opportunities.
At the same time, some employers are struggling to fill positions. Zhang Bo, a hotel owner in Minnan District, spent nearly three hours waiting at the recruitment site without success. “Only half of the workers return after the holiday,†he said. Most of the employees are from the 80s and 90s generations. Although the wages offered are not low, young people often spend their money quickly and leave jobs easily. “From morning until now, no one has been hired. Even offering 5,000 yuan a month is unrealistic,†Zhang added.
Ms. Zhou, a recruitment specialist at a company in Chengyang District’s Airport Industrial Park, told reporters that the company recently expanded and planned to hire 100 workers, including screen printers and operators. Despite raising salaries to between 2,500 and 5,000 yuan, they failed to recruit anyone on the 9th. “On one hand, these positions require some technical skills, and on the other, job seekers have high expectations, making it difficult to find suitable candidates,†she explained. The lack of workers is delaying the opening of the new plant.
Experts note that frequent job-hopping among young workers is becoming a growing concern. According to statistics, more than half of rural migrant workers were born after 1980, and they tend to be more educated and independent in career choices, leading to higher job mobility. Leng Jichang, Secretary-General of Qingdao Municipal Human Resources Professional Committee, warned that this trend can harm both companies and individuals. “Frequent turnover makes it hard for SMEs to develop, and employees may struggle to gain experience or improve their skills,†he said.
Additionally, labor security becomes an issue for those who frequently change jobs. Sheng Shaohua, a lawyer at Shandong Yabo Law Firm, pointed out that short-term or part-time workers may not qualify for labor insurance. “If employees resign before their contract ends, they may lose benefits like insurance,†she noted. This can affect both employer stability and worker rights.
As the new year begins, the odd job market at No. 46 Shenyang Road is crowded with job seekers. Many companies face shortages and rush to hire. While this creates more options for workers, it also leads to high turnover. Experts urge both employers and employees to consider the long-term impacts of frequent job changes, emphasizing the need for stability and growth in the workforce.
