According to the household survey data on 3000 unemployed people in Chongqing city, the paper analyzes the natural features and social features of unemployed people, and the policy factors' influences on reservation wage. We found that individual reservation wage is mainly depended on both personal nature features and social features. And the policy factors' influences deriving from unemployment insurance, professional training offered by government and preferential policies are not significant in OLS results. But there are significant negative influences on individual reservation wage in GLS result (in fact the negative influences will improve the employed rates of work force). The conclusion suggests the current employment promotion policies have positive effects on promoting employment, instead of encouraging the indolence of laborers.
