Spring comes early. After the Spring Festival, it is the peak of returning to work and the peak season of job hunting and recruitment. The “spring breeze action” jointly deployed by the Ministry of human resources and social security and other eight departments is being carried out all over the country during this period.

In July 2020, Xi Jinping General Secretary proposed during his inspection in Changchun, Jilin that party committees and governments at all levels should attach great importance to the employment of college graduates, and college graduates should change their concept of employment. As long as they have ambition, they will have a career, and as long as they have ability, they will have a stage.

Chen Xue from Shandong can only do some temporary work because she has to take care of her two children. According to the new policy, after registering the flexible employment information, she successfully ran the basic endowment insurance and medical insurance in Ningbo.
Since this year, all localities and departments have continuously improved services and unblocked employment channels. From employment and entrepreneurship classes and skill training to shared employment and online recruitment, fine measures to ensure employment and promote entrepreneurship have been gradually implemented to provide employment assistance to more workers.
