College graduate launches organic agricultural cooperative in hometownThis year's report on the employment pressure of Chinese college graduates shows that in spite of the growing number of graduates, job pressure has not worsened, but rather eased.
On the other hand, the expected monthly salary has dropped to its lowest in 4 years - an average of 3680 yuan, a decrease of 2000 yuan compared with that of three years ago.
"Higher expectations lead to higher pressure, while reasonable anticipation helps ease pressure," says Xiong Hanzhong, PhD of psychology in Beijing Normal University and director of the Pressure Management Center for Youngsters in Beijing. He thinks that this year's relatively steady monthly salary expectation is contributing to the easing of employment pressure.
According to the report, 49.6 percent of students prefer to work in provincial capitals, and only 6 percent are willing to work in urban counties.
Experts say that in spite of the growing number of college graduates, many grass-roots positions have failed to recruit enough graduates, indicating that measures encouraging grass roots positions are not attractive enough.
Nearly half of graduates think that they should find employment; those willing to start a business account for 22.7 percent, and those who want to pursue postgraduate studies account for 20.1 percent.
Experts say that the percentages of those who want to start a business and pursue postgraduate studies have increased, while the percentage of those who prefer to find a job has declined. The percentage of graduates who want to start a business has increased by 2 percentage points.
But experts say that less than 2 percent do actually start businesses after graduation. The Chinese authorities are further encouraging start-up projects with favorable policies.
