Global Job Fair in China
Crowds of job hunters flock to a job fair in Nanjing, East China’s Jiangsu Province, November 20, 2007. Nearly 50,000 college graduates participated in the event. The job fair was the first of a series of recruitment events for the 427,000 students who would graduate next year in the province.
Its hard to believe that a country, which is the fastest growing economy in the world and who’s stock markets are making new highs every year, has its citizens desparately flocking to such job fairs. This suggests that, even though China may tip USA as the largest economy in the world, in a few years time, the standard of living of the citizens of China is likely to be lower than most American and European countries.
Regardless of the economic signal, it is certainly eye opening to see this level of enthusiasm for a job fair.
