Migrant workers have more choice over job location

As China transfers industries from coastal regions to inland locations, large numbers of migrant workers are being presented with more choices of where to work.

Yangxin in Hubei province has been designated a national-level poverty-stricken county. At its peak, the county produced 256,000 migrant workers, mostly for shoe factories in major manufacturing bases.

However, shoe factories are now moving to the central region.
