The employment problem ge nerally show for four basic contradictions in the process of industrial transformation in the minority areas.These are the contradiction of the number of ethnic laborer’s fast growth and the lower level of education,the contradiction of empty position and the crowded job hunting,the contradiction of high-quality workers to urban and low quality of workers left rural,the contradiction of migrant workers flow to the midwest and the surplus labour in the ethnic minority areas. Therefore employment opportunities should be created relying on the education,economic nationalism,the transformation of the first industry,and priority to the development of the third industries.
