Shanghai Girls Easier to Find a Job

As job-hunting season enters its peak time after the Spring Festival, the results of a recent survey gives Shanghai's graduate students an optimistic outlook. Competition remains fierce and weird phenomenons are appearing during this year's job-hunting season. CRI's Shanghai correspondent Xiaoyu has the details.

The survey shows that in 2005, nearly 97 per cent of Shanghai's higher education graduates found a job. That's a slightly higher percentage than the year before. According to the survey, girls found it easier to find work than boys. Gao Huan, a girl who found a hotel job last summer, said the reason could be related to Shanghai's advanced tertiary industry.

"It wasn't difficult to find this job because it matches my major in my college very well. And Shanghai locals find job's easier here as the companies don't need to solve our housing and Hukou problems."

According to the survey, about 40 per cent of Shanghai graduates entered the service industry and manufacturing sectors last year. Less than one per cent chose to open their own businesses.
