Migrant workers tend to staff wholly foreign-owned enterprises, joint ventures, township and village enterprises, and private enterprises that produce toys, clothing, footwear, electronics, and other consumer goods. Female workers usually come to Guangdong from poorer provinces along the Yangzi River such as Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Sichuan. They find jobs in Guangdong factories through labor bureaus, from relatives and friends, or by word of mouth.
