Neijiang textile industry lack of work rate of 50%

A few days ago, surveys conducted by Neijiang Investigation Team of the National Bureau of Statistics on enterprises showed that after the Spring Festival this year, the shortage rate of the Neijiang textile industry in Sichuan reached 50%, and the shortage of workers was more severe than last year.

Neijiang textile industry appears "labor shortage", reflecting the current "negative" of the development of the textile industry in Neijiang. First, low added value and poor efficiency. The industry’s profit margin is too low, and many companies are in a state of loss. To ensure normal operation, companies cannot improve employee benefits, leading to high liquidity among front-line workers. Second, the management of the textile industry, facilities and equipment are backward. Some enterprises have old equipment, old factories, high noise, poor air circulation, depressing work environment, and unable to keep workers. Third, lack of confidence in the development of the industry. Insufficient policy care, heavy operating burdens, and arduous difficulties are the consensus of the managers of Neijiang Textile Enterprises. The morale of staff in textile enterprises is also low, and they are not optimistic about the development prospects of enterprises. The results of the latest survey on business climate of the National Bureau of Statistics's Neijiang survey team show that the entrepreneurial confidence index of the Neijiang Textile Industry is only 66.7 points. It operates in the “sudden recession” and is the industry with the lowest confidence index in all industrial sectors.
