Employment demands see negative growth in first-tier cities
Employment demand across China’s first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen saw negative growth for the first time, according to a report issued by Renmin University’s China Institute of Employment Research (CIER). ECNS
KIM’S NOTE: That said, CIER’s report presents an overall favorable report on job growth when looking at first- to third-tier cities. Notably, the number of IT/Internet sector jobs grew substantially in emerging first-tier and third-tier cities, but actually shrank in tier-one cities. And employment demand grew significantly more in Northeast China than in East China. Institutions who look at the demand for labor and its commensurate impact on demand for programs can find a little more about the CIER Index here.
