As for the payment speed, the days of turnover for account receivable in the coal industry are 29.1 in the third quarter, 4.5 days more than that in the last quarter. However, compared with 31 days of turnover for account receivable in all industries, it was not bad.

The slowdown of employment growth year on year indicated that enterprises were not optimistic to the development prospect, so they were prudent for employment.
