Non-state owned enterprises have become the main force in employment and re-employment.

Currently, there are over 80 million people working in individually-owned businesses and private enterprises, accounting for one third of the total employees in urban areas.

In particular, over the recent years, non-state owned enterprises have been creating over six million jobs annually or about 80 percent of the total new jobs in urban areas in the same period, according to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.

The ministry, along with All China Federation of Trade Unions and All-China Association of Industry and Commerce, will launch a recruitment campaign for non-state owned enterprises from June 6 to 12 in 100 large and medium-sized cities across the country.
