The governments should do more to help migrant workers find jobs, says an article in the Beijing Times. The following is an excerpt:
One remarkable feature of this year's traffic rush after Spring Festival is migrant workers returning to cities earlier than usual. A great number of migrant workers were sacked and had to go back to their rural homes before Spring Festival due to factory closures and shrinking orders amid the global financial crisis.
These farmers have left their families for cities earlier than usual in the hope to find jobs before others. Long lines of migrant workers can be seen at the exits of railway stations in big cities like Beijing and Guangzhou.
