Question? According to CCTV9, 20% of the Chinese college graduates cannot find a job and yet during the Chinese New Year holidays there will be a 20% employee turn over rate to other jobs(better pay,job promotion,better working conditions?) So, aren't those people who are currently employed a little fearful of losing what they have by relocating during a tight labor market?

In fact the students who joined in the phd exam has reduced a lot these two years. The market for them is also not optimistic.
The situation for the undergraduate students is painful.

In general terms, the same problem is beginning to exist in the States. All the manufacturing is going overseas and so is finance, only to a lesser extent(?). So our college graduates thru Phd.(I would guess) are not going to recoup in $ for the time and money they incurred to get that higher education. Our country is rapidly becoming a service economy which generally means lower paying jobs.

oh, yes. round more than 60% of gdp from service indurstry in developed states, like banking, investment, insurance, communications tech, health, CHURCH, EDU, ect.

in big cities of china, like shanghai, is switching to those service industry...

besides, as per US media, shrinking job mkt is from mfg , even more, the trend is outsoucing service industry to China and other emerging countries in the east.
