Item from July 6, 1998, in China Daily: Laid-off workers in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality seek data through the city's Employees Information Network. The newly-opened network provides detailed employment data and information on labor resources.

Instead of going to a local employment office, job seekers can send their resumes via recruitment websites such as zhaopin.com and 51job.com.
