Poll: Job growth is in second-tier regions

BEIJING - Spring Festival is over and the year-end bonuses have been handed out. So for some, now is the time to change jobs. But where are the opportunities and in what sectors?

Forget bigger cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The best job prospects are in emerging regions including Suzhou, Chongqing and Shenzhen, according to a Manpower China survey out yesterday.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based Manpower, the world's largest employment service provider, interviewed 3,966 companies on the mainland in January 2010 for the poll.
