China's job creation rising, recruiters say

More companies to add staff as the government emphasizes growth, Shi Jing reports from Shanghai

Hiring is increasing in the second quarter of this year as uncertainty over China's economy increases and the central government focuses on growth driven by the service sector.

About 19 percent of Chinese firms will increase headcount in the April-June period, a survey of 4,279 companies by global employment agency ManpowerGroup showed. That's up from 14 percent in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-headquartered company's previous quarterly report.
