Want ads released by Foxconn Zhengzhou Branch offering big signing bonuses and shuttle buses for new hires suggests Apple’s largest assembler in China is struggling to recruit new workers. Foxconn said its “point-to-point employment” scheme to directly bus in employees from surrounding areas near Zhengzhou, Henan Province was launched in part because of pandemic controls. However, some interpret the move as a desperate attempt to attract young workers. Media reported Foxconn promised new employees a 6,500 yuan (US$1,000) bonus after their first three months, which was later bumped to 8,000 yuan (US$1,230). Analysts warned that the long hours and repetitive work of traditional manufacturing is increasingly putting off younger workers which could lead to labor shortages.
