Restaurants, hotels and automakers struggled to find enough workers to serve dishes, clean guest rooms and man assembly lines in the first quarter of this year as China s consumer spending and factory production continue to recover from COVID-19 pandemic-induced economic slowdowns, a senior official said.
The nation s top 100 most in-short-supply professions －a quarterly ranking the ministry that began publishing two years ago as a reference for vocational training efforts－generated 1.66 million job openings in the first three months this year, a quarterly increase of about 17 percent, said Wu Liduo of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

Pausing for at least three seconds during a negotiation has benefits beyond making someone uncomfortable.
Silence is one of the most simple yet most powerful negotiation tools, but it’s traditionally positioned as an intimidation tactic that prompts a person to speak to their own disadvantage.
New research published in the Journal of Applied Psychology finds that pausing for at least three seconds during a negotiation has benefits beyond making someone uncomfortable.
In a series of studies in which pay negotiations were simulated in conversation, Jared Curhan, an associate professor of work and organization studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his colleagues found that this extended but brief silence can facilitate a “shift from default, zero-sum thinking to a more reflective, deliberative mindset, which, in turn, is likely to lead to the recognition of golden opportunities,” their paper concludes.
