On September 29, a garment industry worker posted a video titled "Unemployment Scene in Guangzhou," saying that many people at the day-labor market on Qiaonan Xinjie Street in Guangzhou had been waiting early in the morning for daily-paid work. Some had gone several days without landing a job, and their savings were gradually running out. The poster said a daily wage of 150 yuan was already considered decent, and that earning 300 yuan would mean staying up late into the night.
