Help rural workers

China Daily | Updated: 2009-03-26 07:46

Helping migrant workers get a job is a tough task in these times of economic downturn. But no matter how hard the task may be, the government cannot afford to let millions of rural laborers sit idle.

The National Bureau of Statistics' latest survey shows about 11 million migrant workers are yet to get a job in cities and towns, and another 12 million are at home trying either to start a business or till their land.

The survey covered 68,000 rural households in 857 counties of 31 provinces and autonomous regions during Spring Festival, and showed the country had more than 225 million migrant workers. The well being of such a large section of society is important for the country's economic development and social progress.
