The latest statistics show that 89.68 percent of last year's graduates from schools of higher learning in Beijing, the national capital, had found jobs by Dec. 31, 2003.

The number of graduates from schools of higher learning topped 103,000 last year, up 26 percent over the previous year, according to statistics from local educational authorities.

The employment rate of postgraduates reached as high as 96.27 percent and the employment rate of university graduates was 89.78 percent.

The municipal education committee, together with local personnel and labor departments, took a series of effective measures to help graduates to find jobs as the sudden outbreak of SARS in the country early last year plus the increase in the number of graduates added more difficulties and inconveniences in job seeking.

The number of graduates from senior vocational schools surged 52.9 percent to reach 12,900 last year, 84.5 percent of whom had found jobs by Dec. 31 last year, statistics show.
