Through the survey data of rural Education Institute in Northeast Normal University to nearly 10,000 migrant workers of every occupation in the ten different provinces municipalities across the nation including Beijing,Shanghai,Shandong,Guizhou etc., this study describes the basic situation and the existing problems of migrant workers processing culture capital in the present stage of China, and analyzes the relations between culture capital of migrant workers and work motivation,employment,training and income by the use of SPSS software and other related statistical approaches. This study also presents some suggestions to improve migrant workers'cultural capital accumulation in the aspect of education on basis of the in-depth analysis of the impact on farmers'cultural capital accumulation.We find that migrant workers of the cultural capital status is not optimistic from the survey, whose performance is, First of all, the low educational level, a lower level of learning abilities, and specifically, groups of migrant workers only in the first two grades of academic level, and learning abilities having not yet reached the level of primary school ; the lack of necessary knowledge and application migration capacity in language, science and math; the overall lack of legal awareness and protection of their rights and interests through legal means. Second, a lack of economic capital can not enhance the strong support of cultural capital. Third, the cultural capital can not form benign interaction with its economic and social capitals.The analysis of the survey data by using related statistical methods shows that the cultural capital of migrant workers has a serious impact on their employment opportunities, employment ability, as well as all aspects of city life. First, the relevance between cultural capital of migrant workers and their work motivation is significant. Migrant workers suffered higher level of education, the greater proportion of positive factors will be in the work motivation. On the contrary, migrant workers suffered the lower level of education, likely the more negative work driven for a living. Second, the cultural capital of migrant workers and their career is very relevant. Specifically, the relatively high cultural capital stock has a great positive impact on their employment chances, career choices and career expectations. Third, the income of migrant workers and their culture capital was correlated, and the relation is very significant. Fourth, the relation between the culture capital of migrant workers and their feeling of live is much related. The migrant workers who feel satisfied to life, with the higher education level, gradually decline, and who are not quite satisfied with life, with the higher education level and gradually increase. Fifth, the relation of whether to participate in the training of their job and income is not significantly correlated.Through the analysis and discussion above, the study analyzes the deep-rooted reasons of the low culture capital of migrant work, from three different angles of registration system which is the urban and rural structure of the household, social factors which are the effective training of migrant workers shortage, as well as education factors which the overall quality of education in rural areas of education is not high. And the study puts forward the following four-point Suggestions: to improve the quality of primary education in rural areas, strengthen the cultural foundation of migrant workers; to develop vocational education in rural areas vigorously, with emphasis on vocational skills training of migrant workers; to build the training engineering of migrant workers, to enhance the employment competitiveness of migrant workers; to expand the connotation of compensatory education, and to practice lifelong education idea.
