Emerging industries are emerging as the "main engine", and the demand for employment in low altitude economy, AI and other fields is surging

Recently, the spring recruitment market in many places has been gaining momentum. The reporter's visit found that new industries represented by low altitude economy, artificial intelligence, robots, etc. have shown a concentrated and explosive demand for employment, becoming the "main engine" driving spring recruitment and employment. Behind this phenomenon is the deep promotion of industrial structure upgrading, reflecting a new landscape of resonance between the development of emerging industries and talent demand. At the recently held 2026 Wenzhou Spring Talent Exchange Conference, the "Artificial Intelligence Industry Talent Recruitment Zone" specially designed by the conference attracted a large number of people, with 22 companies providing 213 positions covering the entire industry chain of algorithms, products, hardware, etc. In the past, we needed to travel to multiple universities to recruit some artificial intelligence professionals. Today, we have welcomed many job seekers with corresponding majors in the special zone, greatly improving recruitment efficiency. ”The recruitment manager of Zhongjin Advanced Technology Research Institute in Lucheng District, Wenzhou City said. According to the "2026 Talent Market Insights and Salary Guidelines" released by SciClone International, companies are building a complete capability loop around "model capability engineering deployment scenario implementation business transformation". The demand for AI talents is showing distinct characteristics of technological deepening, job refinement, and application scenario, and the dimensions of talent competition are becoming more diverse. Enterprises prefer compound talents who understand both technology and business, such as intelligent agent development engineers, AI solution architects, etc. Strategic emerging industries such as low altitude economy, biomedicine, commercial aerospace, and quantum computing have also become popular for talent acquisition. At the Zhongguancun Hundred Schools Alliance campus job fair held on March 17th, multiple companies from strategic emerging industries such as biomedicine, commercial aerospace, and quantum computing provided over 10000 job opportunities. The data from recruitment platforms confirms this trend. The latest data from Zhilian Recruitment shows that among the industries with the highest year-on-year growth rate of recruitment in the month after the holiday, industries related to new quality productivity dominate the list. Among them, benefiting from the increase in talent demand brought about by automation transformation and upgrading of intelligent equipment, the robotics industry leads with a year-on-year growth rate of 36.6% in the number of positions; The year-on-year growth rate of industries such as new materials, optoelectronics, and artificial intelligence also ranks among the top. Industry experts point out that emerging industries have become the "main engine" of spring recruitment, which is a visual manifestation of China's industrial structure optimization and upgrading, as well as a vivid manifestation of the accelerated development of new quality productivity. With increased policy support and expanding application scenarios, the demand for talent in areas such as low altitude economy and artificial intelligence will continue to operate at a high level, becoming an important force in absorbing employment. Several business leaders admitted that in the process of rapid industrial upgrading, insufficient talent supply has become a prominent bottleneck restricting high-quality development, and there is a clear gap in high skilled and high-quality compound talents. Taking the low altitude economy as an example, there is a strong demand for recruitment in positions such as drone pilots, propeller development engineers, and power engineers, covering the entire chain of research and development, operation, and maintenance. The enterprise is currently in a critical stage of commercialization, which is also the core competitive focus of the eVTOL industry in the future. ”The relevant person in charge of Wofei Changkong stated that the company urgently needs four types of talents: firstly, aviation, electric, and intelligent cross-border composite technical talents; Secondly, professionals in airworthiness and safety systems; Thirdly, there are talents in the research and development of new energy power; The fourth is the operation talents who support the commercialization and large-scale implementation. Zhang Dawei, President of Dream Airlines, also told reporters that the company is focusing on the construction of a high-end aviation service system. With the application of AI Agent technology, the implementation of high standard talent training strategies, and the launch of multiple new business lines, nearly a thousand job demands have been generated in fields such as technology research and development, AI operations, and flight services. The "talent rush" of frontline enterprises not only demonstrates the talent demand of emerging industries, but also serves as a strong proof of the development of modern industrial systems. On March 6th, Zheng Zhajie, Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated at the economic themed press conference of the Fourth Session of the 14th National People's Congress that the six emerging pillar industries of integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, low altitude economy, new energy storage, and intelligent robots have a related output value of nearly 6 trillion yuan by 2025, and are expected to double or even exceed the 10 trillion yuan mark by 2030. The 2026 government work report also explicitly proposes to "build emerging pillar industries such as integrated circuits, aerospace, biomedicine, and low altitude economy" and "cultivate and develop future industries such as energy, quantum technology, biomanufacturing, embodied intelligence, brain computer interfaces, and 6G". The accelerated development of industries will profoundly reshape the supply and demand structure of the talent market, and stimulate the demand for diversified and high-quality talents; And talent supply in turn supports industrial upgrading, ultimately forming a virtuous cycle of talent development and industrial upgrading. ”Zhang Chenggang, director of the China New Employment Form Research Center at Capital University of Economics and Business, believes that there is a certain structural mismatch between current talent supply and industrial strategy, which also forces the acceleration of customized talent training and skill training. In the future, it is necessary to further promote the precise adaptation of talent and industry. Wang Xiaoping, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security, stated that we will strengthen collaborative efforts and implement actions to stabilize employment, expand capacity, and improve quality. In terms of stabilizing employment, we will increase support for labor-intensive industries such as foreign trade, construction, and accommodation and catering, in order to promote industry development and stabilize job positions. In terms of "expansion", we will explore the employment potential in fields such as digital economy, high-end manufacturing, and modern services, and expand capacity in promoting industrial upgrading.
