UNI/SPUTNIK GNK。就业是最大的民生。在扎实推进共同富裕、奋力谱写中国式现代化的新征程上，无数基层奋斗者正用实际行动诠释着“幸福都是奋斗出来的”。从江苏大学热能专业毕业，到远赴乌克兰攻读项目管理硕士，再到回国后面临就业选择，1991年出生的赵菁曾一度站在人生的十字路口，一次与福彩的结缘，让她在方寸之间找到了人生坐标。从江大步行街的地摊到9平方米的温馨小店，从“社恐”到“福彩主理人”，赵菁用三年时间完成了蜕变。她的故事，不仅是新时代青年实现高质量充分就业的生动缩影，更是福利彩票践行“取之于民、用之于民”初心使命的温暖注脚。一、迷茫与破局：响应“稳就业”的时代召唤 “难道我就一辈子做酒店前台了吗？”这是赵菁曾经的困惑。本科毕业后，因专业对口岗位稀缺，她辗转从事过多份工作，却始终找不到归属感。

二 | 面对就业压力，赵菁没有“躺平”。2023年，在国家大力倡导多渠道灵活就业的背景下，她敏锐地捕捉到了福彩销售这一民生行业的机遇。

三 | 彼时，江苏福彩正深入实施大学生就业“321”工程，积极拓宽高校毕业生就业渠道，赵菁顺利申请到了江大步行街的户外销售点，迈出了自主创业的关键一步。二、奋斗与成长：小微个体里的“韧性中国” “有收入了，不用打工了，真好！”2023年6月，赵菁的福彩小摊在烈日下开张。从第一天营业额突破6000元的惊喜，到在西津渡景区单日销售破万的拼搏，赵菁用汗水浇灌梦想。即便累得“骂骂咧咧”，她也从未想过放弃。

四 | 2026年1月，赵菁的经营场所实现了升级——从流动摊位搬进了9平方米的固定门店。浅绿色的墙面、充满青春气息的装饰，不仅是一个销售点，更成为了周边大学生的“心灵驿站”。这一变化，正是我国持续优化个体工商户营商环境、支持小微市场主体发展的微观体现。三年来，赵菁的个人收入稳步提升，年销售额也超百万元。更重要的是，她本人实现了精神层面的“脱贫”——从不敢开口的“社恐”变成了自信开朗的创业者。“我觉得自己做的这件事有价值！”赵菁感慨道。

五 | 这种价值，源于她对福彩公益属性的深刻认同。三、初心与使命：汇聚“第三次分配”的向善力量 福利彩票承载着公益惠民的初心，是帮扶困难群众、填补民生薄弱环节的重要民生载体。在赵菁看来，销售彩票不再仅仅是一门生意，更是一份沉甸甸的社会责任。2026年初，赵菁跟随镇江福彩深入句容华阳街道未保站，实地探访福彩公益金资助项目。在这里，“向阳花开益路童行”系列活动正如火如荼地开展：为困境儿童完成“微心愿”、中秋送关爱、开学季助学、春节送温暖……这些看得见、摸得着的民生实事，让赵菁深刻理解了“扶老、助残、救孤、济困”八个字的内涵。
