On April 15, the National Bureau of Statistics released China ’s economic data for April, and the unemployment rate in urban surveys nationwide rose slightly. From January to April, 3.54 million jobs were added to cities and towns across the country, a decrease of 1.05 million compared with the same period last year. The unemployment rate in the national urban survey in April was 6.0%, an increase of 0.1 percentage point from March.
Compared with the previous data, there were 2.29 million new urban employees in the first quarter of the country; the unemployment rate in the national urban survey in March was 5.9%. Among them, the unemployment rate of the 25-59-year-old population survey is 5.4%, which is lower than the national urban survey unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points, down 0.2 percentage points from the previous month. The surveyed unemployment rate in 31 major cities and towns was 5.7%.
From the data, the domestic employment situation was indeed affected during the epidemic, but with the introduction of various employment protection policies and the resumption of production and production in various places, the situation is gradually alleviating.
Real unemployment rate may be higher
The general natural unemployment rate is 4%. China ’s previous urban survey unemployment rate was about 5%. With the impact of the epidemic, the scale of this unemployment is actually not large. However, in practice, because the urban survey unemployment rate does not cover individual industrial and commercial households, small and micro enterprises, and flexible employment groups, it does not fully reflect China's actual unemployment scale.
In practice, urban self-employed people account for about 24% of all urban employees. In addition to the urban population, there are about 260 million migrant workers, of which 170 million migrant workers are out of employment. Due to strong mobility, this group of people is difficult to be included Statistics, and their employment is most affected by the epidemic.
The textile industry has a greater impact and the unemployment rate is higher
Under the influence of the epidemic, bankruptcies, production shutdowns, and shutdowns in the chemical industry have become commonplace. In recent days, another Shandong textile company could not bear bankruptcy, and about 5,000 people will face unemployment.

Due to the impact of multiple comprehensive factors such as transportation, logistics, prevention and control, and workers, this new coronavirus infection epidemic has a greater impact on textile and apparel companies. People's travel demand is declining. Even if the micro-business and live broadcast are very hot, they still cannot stop the substantial decrease in sales of clothing, shoes and hats.
The International Federation of Textile Manufacturers and the International Apparel Federation jointly released a report to study the impact of the new crown epidemic on the global textile and apparel industry. Statistics show that the epidemic has caused global exports to lose $ 50 billion! The textile and apparel industry will therefore lose more than US $ 1.5 billion (approximately RMB 10.4 billion).
The epidemic has put the entire industry chain of the textile and apparel industry in a vicious circle of weak demand and overcapacity. The global epidemic is still spreading. European and American countries have difficulties in resuming work, incomes have been reduced, and consumption has been thinking for a long time. , And then transmitted to the domestic industrial chain, the prospect is equally unknown.
