Researcher Zhang Zhanxin, with the Institute of Population and Labor Economics under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, says the figures indicate adjustment in the human resources distribution in top-tier cities and second-tier cities, especially provincial capitals.
中国社会科学院人口与劳动力经济研究所研究员家张占新（音译）表示，这些数字显示出了中国人力资源在一线和二线城市，特别是省会之间分配的调整。
"Though months of observation is still needed before we can conclude there`s a trend of talented people moving to second-tier cities, it`s obvious that signs of a trend have appeared since second-tier cities are becoming increasingly attractive to talents," says Zhang, who studies labor force mobility.
研究劳动力流动的张占新说，“尽管在得出最终结论前仍需观察数月，但很明显，精英人才正在涌向二线城市，后者对人才的吸引力也变得越来越大。”
He notes the move`s short-term impact on the big cities is "very limited," because "human resources go where capital goes."
他指出这种人员流动对大城市的短期影响“非常有限”，因为“人力资源总是涌向资金聚集的地方”。
"For the cities like Beijing, their traditional advantages in education and industries such as high-technology, information and finance, will keep them magnets for investments in the coming five to 10 years," he says.
他表示，“对于像北京这样的城市，在教育和产业方面的传统优势，例如高科技、信息和金融，会让它们在未来5到10年对投资依然保持吸引力。”
