Jobs rethink necessary

Perhaps university graduates should change their attitudes toward employment now that the economic slowdown has made it much more difficult for them to land a job.
The latest survey in major cities shows that just 35.6 percent of the students to graduate this summer have secured a job, a rate much lower than the 70 percent targeted by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MHRSS) this year.
The decision by the Ministry of Education yesterday to expand enrolment of postgraduates by 50,000 this summer is obviously a measure to alleviate employment pressure from college graduates.
