Fenjiu responded that many master's degree graduates are being considered for the position of production workers: Although it is a front-line job with a high labor intensity, there is greater room for advancement for master's degree holders and salary differences.

Recently, Shanxi Xinghua Village Fenjiu Group Co., Ltd. announced the list of prospective employees for the recruitment of front-line technical workers in 2026. The list includes more than 10 master's graduates in the positions of brewing workers and packaging workers, which has attracted attention. "Do you need such a high level of education to spread and dry with a shovel and sprinkle yeast?" Some netizens raised questions. On March 10, the staff responsible for recruitment at Fenjiu Group told reporters that as long as they meet the requirements of the recruitment announcement, both vocational school and master's graduates can apply. The positions of brewing workers and packaging workers in this open recruitment are indeed front-line positions with high physical labor intensity, but both positions can be promoted according to the group's regulations. The promotion opportunities for master's graduates are definitely much greater, and the salaries for positions with different education levels will also differ.
