 Labor shortage helps workers stay closer to home

New recruits work on a food assembly line at a company in Xiantao, Central China's Hubei province, March 2, 2011. Xiantao has traditionally been a place where residents leave to go to other big cities for jobs, but the city has been hit hard by a shortage of 20,000 workers, leaving textile and food companies to push harder to attract local workers, Xinhua reported.
