Employment is vital to people's basic livelihood. How about the employment in Central China's Henan province last year? In 2021, Henan created 1,253,900 new jobs in urban areas, exceeding its annual goal, according to the Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Henan Province on January 15.
"Policies need to be implemented. For example, cutting of social security premium reduced the burdens of enterprises by 3.702 billion yuan for maintaining stable employment. Besides, the sum of one-time employment subsidy given to enterprises reached 16.68 million yuan over the last year," said a source from the Employment Service and Administration Bureau of the Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Henan Province.
With preferential policies, Henan created 1,253,900 new jobs in urban areas in 2021 with a year-on-year increase of 2.28 percent, exceeding the year's target by 13.99 percent. By the end of December 2021, both Henan's registered unemployment rate and surveyed urban unemployment rate stood below the government's annual target, showing a stable and upward employment trend.
