Initiative grows jobs in China, report says

The Belt and Road Initiative has proved to be effective in creating employment opportunities in many parts of China, according to a report by recruitment website Zhaopin.

The report found big increases in job opportunities last year in the 18 provincial regions identified in 2015 as key to the initiative.

In 2015, the yearly growth rate of job offers in seven of the 18 provincial regions was higher than the 27 percent national average that year.
