China's army of upcoming college graduates brace to compete for jobs with a familiar rival - the class of 2020's un-hired alumni

By ITS Education Asia

Competition for jobs among fresh university graduates in China looks to be even more intense next year as the coronavirus left millions of degree-holders out of work .

With yet another record number of university and college graduates expected to enter the workforce next year, China’s young adults could very well find themselves in the most difficult environment ever to land jobs, says the SCMP. An estimated total of 9.09 million graduates will join the job market.

The coronavirus compounded their struggles this year with widespread disruptions. In the spring, lockdowns across the country resulted in the cancellations of offline job fairs, while fewer jobs than usual were available after countless firms froze headcounts.
