China's labor shortage

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2011-02/19/content_12044940.htm

This interesting article talk about how some regions known to be prosperous are experiencing labor shortage. The reason come from the development of other areas, maybe closer to the home of workers, whom, therefore don't need to immigrate as far as they use to to find jobs.
The article mentions the affect of family and " self improvement" as being part of the decision making.
I think it is interesting because, with the plethora of job available,chinese people have choices and different opportunities.
Also it is interesting to follow up on the subject to see what will happen... What will the Yangtse river delta ( an area with labor shortage) will do in order to find workers? Will they promote immigration from other countries to fill in the gap? If so.. how will that affect the evolution of the country?
