China Unemployment Statistics

Many young Chinese continue to face challenges in securing employment due to the overall sluggishness of the economy.

China's government will no longer release youth unemployment statistics, it said Tuesday, but the mood among young people online and on the streets of Beijing left no doubt the situation was dire.

Unemployment among Chinese youths jumped to a record 21.3 percent in June, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Monday.

The statistics have been released just one month before another 11.6 million students will graduate from college and vocational schools.
