Employment gap

Although China's job market showed resilience in the first half of this year, the problem of creating enough jobs for graduates remains a hard nut to crack.

It is being called the hardest job-hunting season ever for graduates, as nearly 7 million of them swarmed into the job market this summer, adding to the country's job creation pressure amid the ongoing economic slowdown.

It has become increasingly difficult for college graduates to secure a job in recent years. Given the accumulated number of college students who graduated in previous years and failed to find a job, the pressure is growing.
