Zhejiang province will send four work teams to provinces with a surplus of laborers to recruit migrant employees amid the most severe labor shortage over the past seven years, according to Hangzhou.com.cn.

A survey released Friday by the Zhejiang Provincial Human Resources and the Social Security Bureau shows a great disparity between job vacancies and job applicants after the Spring Festival holiday.

Demand for labor is expected to increase by 20 percent to 30 percent compared to last year due to the strong economic recovery of the province, according to the Zhejiang Employment Management Services.

The four teams accredited by Zhejiang province will cooperate with labor-exporting provinces on interprovincial labor services, and some enterprises will participate in on-site recruiting.
