Shanghai : Fewer jobs open amid economic slowdown in city

[Shanghai Daily]

SHANGHAI’S economic slowdown has adversely affected the growth of the local job market in the first seven months of the year, and the effect may last the rest of the year given current economic trends, city labor bureau officials said yesterday.

Despite efforts to boost jobs, the net growth in the number of newly recruited workers from January through July citywide still dropped substantially from the same period a year earlier, according to the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. Officials provided no details on the gap but said it’s an obvious setback. The bureau said during the first seven months, the city provided a total of 452,900 new jobs to workers. But taking into account positions that closed for various reasons, the net growth in new recruits during the period was only 80,000 persons, a major drop from a year earlier, according to the bureau.
