The importance of studying talent migration in Liaoning lies in its strategic role in Northeast China's economy, particularly for post-pandemic recovery and global adaptation. This paper assesses the impact of Liaoning's employment policies on talent flow and labor market equilibrium after COVID-19. It underscores the critical influence of government strategies in tackling employment issues, especially for newly graduated individuals and established professionals. This highlights the synergy between public policy, economic stability, and workforce progression amidst global shifts. The findings indicate a positive effect of these policies in retaining and attracting talent, thereby reducing the negative impact on the labor market due to the pandemic. The paper recommends further enhancements to these policies, focusing on the incorporation of digital transformation and ongoing educational initiatives. These steps are proposed to foster workforce flexibility and to stimulate regional economic development. This comprehensive approach aims not only at immediate labor market stabilization but also at long-term strategic planning for Liaoning's economic and workforce competitiveness on a global scale.
