China's job market remained stable in 2018, but the country faces continued employment pressure this year, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security Zhang Jinan said in an interview on Sunday.

At least 15 million people will enter the job market, many seeking employment in urban areas this year, he said, noting that the number of new college graduates will reach a record high of 8.34 million.
