Welcome to Learning Today, coming to you from our studio in Beijing live on radio and online via newsplusradio.cn. I'm Wuyou.
1.May is the start of the job hunting season.
A latest report shows that many students in the US do not want to become civil servants after graduation.
One of the reasons could be the limited salary, which is 15000 US dollars per year. However, the annual tuition fee is about 60000 US dollars.
2.From the US to China, this morning Chinanews.com has come out with a ranking list of employment rate of 75 Chinese Universities based on the data published by the Ministry of Education.
It shows that Beijing Normal University, China Pharmaceutical University, and South China University of Technology are on the top three. Tsinghua University Peking University and Fudan University come in the Middle of the list.
Law schools as Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Lanzhou University and China University of Political Science and Law, rank as the bottom three.
3. Based on the current situation, the authorities have started the 2014 guiding plan to help the graduates. The plan says those graduates who started their own minor enterprises, can get 50 percent off on the tax payment.
Those with less than 20,000 yuan monthly sales may not need to pay for the value added tax and sales tax. Those graduates started e-commerce companies, may benefit from the microfinance loans or subsidy policies etc.
4. For more about the Chinese job market,this morning I talked with Robert CEO of RMG Selection, an international recruitment company.
