Employment policy plays an important role in economic development, social stability and livelihood protection. This paper uses text mining technology and policy evaluation model to quantitatively compare and analyze the foreign employment stabilization and promotion policies with China’s employment priority strategy. First, we collect and process the data of the policy texts that meet the requirements of the study; second, we grasp the key points of concern of the foreign employment stabilization and promotion policies and China’s employment priority strategy through the word frequency statistics of the policy texts and the method of co-occurrence network diagram; and with the help of the LDA topic model, we dig deep into the potential themes hidden in the policy texts and interpret the complex information in the policy texts. Finally, relying on the PMC index model, the quantitative evaluation of foreign employment stabilization and promotion policies and China’s employment priority strategy is carried out. It is found that most of the policies of China’s employment priority strategy score higher than the mean or even full marks, reflecting the comprehensiveness of the policies. The PMC index of the three foreign policies for stabilizing and promoting employment is P3>P1>P2, and P3 ranks first among all policies, however, its score does not reach 9 because it mainly focuses on scientific and technological innovation, and only covers a small part of employment assistance. As a whole, China can start from playing the coordinating function of combining supply and demand. Focusing on the needs of special groups as well as, policies should comprehensively cover forecasting, supervision, guidance and other directions to improve China’s employment level. Foreign countries can pay more attention to the employment needs of special groups and improve the employment rate of all people.
