Abstract According to the questionnaire survey of migrant workers in 2015, the author has made a quantitative study to investigate whether the migrant workers use social relationship to find a job and the effectiveness of the relationship. The paper systematically verify the impact of relationship, “contacts” and the relational resources on migrant workers’ wages. Study has shown that nearly 83% of migrant workers rely on social networks to achieve migration and employment. No matter the relationship they use is strong or weak, it has significant positive impact on their income, and “contacts” who are friends and relatives based on blood and geography play a particular vital role. The real reason that Social Networks would effect the wages of migrant workers lies in that the migrant workers can get different resouces from it, including information and help. The different network resources determine the mode and result of social capital.Based on the above analysis, the author proposes to establish and perfect a service system of migrant workers with government as the leadership and the society participates in organization. By accelerating the construction of a unified labor market, the system would help to promote fair employment and optimize social network of migrant workers.
