Job hunting gets tougher for grads

[China Daily]

China's graduating seniors will be busy job hunting this fall, but they may find the process more difficult than in previous years as the country grapples with the sluggish world economy.

"I have slim hopes of finding my ideal job, because the company I am fond of only has 10 job openings this year," said Tian Taiji, a student in the Jilin University class of 2013, based in Changchun, capital of northeast China's Jilin Province. Tian said that he and his classmates are facing a grim employment situation this year. "We have seen decreases in the number of new hires as well as in salaries," said Tian. International rating agency Standard & Poor's lowered China's economic growth forecast to 7.5 percent on Monday due to the slowdown in the world's second-largest economy, the ongoing eurozone crisis and slower-than-expected recovery in the United States.
Analysts have pointed out that falling demand for labor coupled with a large number of graduates has led to the present employment pressure.
