National Employment Services Absorb Nearly 800,000 People

Nearly 800,000 Chinese found their jobs through employment services across the country last year, according to a national employment meeting held on May 14. The country at present has a total of 130,000 special employment services which employ about seven million people, the meeting of China's Association of Labor Employment Services disclosed.

These services have found jobs for 23 million people in the 20 years since China established its first employment services in early 1980s.

Participants at the meeting called for an expansion of community services and the development of small enterprises as new channels for employment.

Employment services should have many forms of ownership rather than the current single form, they noted.

They also agreed to work harder to improve their services and help more jobless workers find jobs.
