Abstract Industrial upgrading is bound to have a profound impact on the employment of migrant workers. This paper uses the 2011 and 2016 the China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS) data, combined with the macro annual data of the technical progress level of each province, empirically analyzes the trends and influencing factors of migrant workers' employment structure in the context of industrial upgrading. Studies have shown that the job structure of migrant workers' employment shows a trend of “downgrade”. Technological advancement has changed the influence of individual micro-features such as intergenerational, gender, education level, work experience, social relations and family economic factors on the employment structure of migrant workers. Technological advancement promoted employment upward flow of migrant workers receiving college education or above but lead to employment downward flow of migrant workers receiving high school education, and reduced the positive role of work experience in employment mobility; Technological advancement reduced the positive role of social relations in job hunting, and promoted the polarization of employment structure of migrant workers with better family conditions. The robustness test also proves the above conclusions.
