China’s large number of skilled university graduates is competing for a smaller pool of jobs. So some are turning to other professions outside their expertise. Andrew Livingstone reports on a group of graduates taking up a radically different type of work.
Beijing's new graduates can now breathe a little easier. According to a recent survey, the average monthly salary for recent graduates in Beijing is expected to rise.
Starting pay for new graduates in all industries dropped last year as a direct result of the financial crisis. Consequently, those entering the job market had lower expectations. But there is now some good news for fresh graduates – at least in the capital.
A recent survey of five thousand companies across the country shows the average monthly salary for Beijing's new grads is expected to rise from about 390 dollars a month to 410 dollars. Those companies include state-owned, private and multinational companies.
