Chinese overseas students face tougher job market

A recent report from China's education authorities is suggesting it has become increasingly difficult for Chinese students studying overseas to find a job back on their home soil. According to the blue paper released by the Ministry of Education, 85% of Chinese students studying overseas chose to return to China after graduation in 2013. However these returnees have to compete with millions of new university graduates every year facing fierce competition in China. Director of the Chinese service center for scholarly exchange Sun Jianming says finding a job is becoming a new test for the returnees. According to the report, the returnees' expected salary has much to do with their scholarship degree. For those with no working experience, their average monthly salary runs at around RMB10,000.
