Although the government does not publish regular productivity statistics, there is no mistaking the problem: Overall urban employment growth has been steady, at around 13.2 million workers per year since 2013 – well in excess of the government’s targeted growth rate of ten million. Moreover, hiring seems to be holding at that brisk pace in early 2015.
中国也经历了类似的过程。尽管政府并不定期公布生产率数字，但问题已经显而易见：城镇总体就业增长十分稳定，自2013年一直保持在每年1,320万人——远超政府目标增长率一千万人。而在2015年初，雇用活动似乎继续维持着这一强势。
