Millions head home after losing jobs

The Standard/AFP, Friday, January 23, 2009

About six million migrant workers have returned to their rural homes after losing their jobs in the cities due to the financial crisis.

About a quarter of China's 120 million workers - or 30 million - have gone home to the countryside, said Ma Jiantang, head of the National Bureau of Statistics.

About 20 percent of them have done so as the plants where they work have closed down or halted production because of the crisis, he said.
