Based on the labor market segmentation theory,this paper tries to analyze the transformational process of changing from the employment structure under the planned economy system to the labor market,the result of which shows that the Chinese labor market presents obvious structuralization （or segmentation） ,forming a three - part labor market - peasant- worker labor market,talent labor market and the labor market inside the state -owned enterprise,each owning a respective function. The development of the present Chinese labor market faces serious problems of employment and re -structuring.
