Changing market leaves many grads without jobs

Of the 219,000 college graduates in Beijing who will graduate in July, around 84,500 have already found jobs as of May 14, according to figures released by the government on Tuesday.

The graduate employment rate is 38.6 percent, a percentage that is two points higher than last year. However, the employment rates are different according to the major.

"Although there are many job opportunities in Beijing this year, graduates in some majors still have difficulty finding jobs," said Guo Guangsheng, deputy director of the Beijing municipal commission of education.
