Job seekers looking to second-tier cities for work

University graduates are looking to second-tier cities because of greater job opportunities and lower property prices, a recent industry report shows.

Suzhou topped a "competitive index" for cities, with an average of 90 graduates competing for each job, figures from major career portal Zhaopin.com show.

Other second-tier cities, such as Xi'an, Nanjing and Wuhan, also made it into the top 10 on the index.
