Jilin Special: Jilin erasing the blind spots in its vision of future prosperity

Another move by the Jilin government in its 12th Five-Year Plan guidelines is to see that incomes grow at least 75 percent over the next five years, based on last year's figures.

According to Luo Dechun, head of the provincial human resources and social security department, this is a result of the fact that, in spite of their rapid economic growth, wages in Jilin have been stagnant.

"We see the wage increase as an important part of the whole program," Luo commented.
