During this period, the coupling coordination between the industrial structure and employment structure had an overall improvement, but its extent was limited and showed partial polarization, displaying a prominent differentiation phenomenon; with the study of relative processing degree of industrial economic structure and employment structure, the better coordination of development is Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other areas, which its industrial structure and employment structure had a simultaneous development, as well as, the lagging behind of employment structure development is Huzhou, Zhoushan, Taizhou and other areas, the industrial economic development is dragged down by a certain degree.
