Demand for Web development jobs surging

Hays, the global recruitment services provider, has reported a boom in Web development jobs in China, a trend which it expects to continue into next year as more companies look to become competitive on the world stage.

China already has the world's largest number of Internet users, and Hays said it expects the market to continue to increase as more of China's population become regular users.

"The Internet is changing the way people live in China and the move to online transactions is stimulating consumer spending and in turn creating new jobs," said Simon Lance, regional director of Hays in China.
