Skilled workers are in demand
http://www.sina.com.cn 2003/11/03 12:57  Shanghai Daily

  Haining, the country's leather clothing center, has had to cancel millions of US dollars worth of international orders because of an acute shortage of skilled workers.

  The Zhejiang Province city has more than 2,000 leather clothing enterprises that can produce 60,000 items daily, but they are able to do little to increase their capacity.

  The same dilemma has faced other industries in the Yangtze River Delta. The region recorded the fastest economic growth in China, which demands a huge pool of technicians for sustainable development.

  In Kunshan, in Jiangsu Province, an enterprise offered 280,000 yuan (US,000) in annual salary to a senior electric welding worker. In Zhejiang's capital of Hangzhou, even when some firms promised a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan for a digital machine tool operator, more than double the average government salary, they could not find one.

  Professor Zhang Xukun of the Economic School of Hangzhou-based Zhejiang University said the dearth of skilled technicians poses a major hindrance to the Yangtze Delta region's growth, as the global manufacturing industries have transferred to the region on a massive scale.

  The city is expected to suffer a shortage of some 18,000 technicians in the next three years in the fields of craft designing, machine tool operation, electric equipment and optimization of optical, mechanical and electronic synthesis.In Wuxi, a major industrial center in southern Jiangsu, a survey of more than 700 overseas-funded enterprises found a technician shortage of up to 10,000.

  Zhejiang Province will see a shortfall of at least 300,000 logistics workers in transportation and warehousing within the next few years.

  The government planned to import technicians from other countries.
