The study uses GDP data, employment data, and urbanization rates from 31 provinces between 1990 and 2022, and employs a threshold effect model for statistical analysis. The results indicate that urbanization, once reaching a certain threshold, positively affects labor productivity in the primary industry, shifting from negative influence. Meanwhile, although the secondary industry maintains a positive influence, a significant decline is observed at higher urbanization rates. The study concludes that China crossed the first Lewis turning point around 2017. %K Urban-Rural Dual Structure %K Lewis Turning Point %K Urbanization Rate %K Labor Transfer %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=136729
