From BBC News:
China’s graduates will find it tougher than ever to get jobs in the coming year, as China’s economy slows down and unemployment rises.
Experts say a chronic over-supply of graduates and a shortage of “high end” jobs had already been causing difficulties, but the mass lay-offs and business closures in recent months has made the situation even worse.
Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has told students that the problem of graduate employment is “at the top of the government’s agenda”.
Six and a half million graduates in China will be looking for a job over the next year.
