Migrant workers crowd job fair in Henan   

郑州招聘会现场火爆 应聘者表示愿在家门口打工

随着春节假期的结束，求职就业的高峰期已经到来。今天，郑州首场招聘会现场火爆，多数前来求职应聘者表示，想在河南省内找一份工作，“在家门口打工”。

Zhengzhou (CNS) -- Migrant workers who hope to stay close to home crowded a large job fair in Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan province, on Tuesday.

Long lines of workers formed in front of recruiters for famous companies like Yutong Group, a bus-manufacturer, and Dennis Deportment Store.

Nie Shengqiu, a citizen of Xinxiang who arrived early, said, "Henan now has more opportunities, and I hope to find a job in Zhengzhou instead of going out."

Another man who had often left home to work as a mechanic said he wanted to stay home to take care of his aging parents.

Liu Yuan, who works at the fair, said that more than 10,000 migrant workers are expected to attend, and that about 300 enterprises will be offering positions varying from executives to household helpers.

Many large enterprises have built branches or factories in Henan, and salaries and work environments have improved, Liu said. The job fair is being held mainly to attract migrant workers back home, he added.

Wang Bailing, a recruiter from Gome Electrical Appliances, said many experienced salesmen are needed for positions in Henan.
