China’s job market added 2.99 million new urban jobs in the first quarter of 2026, with the surveyed urban unemployment rate averaging 5.3%, according to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, as reported by local media. During the period, efforts focused on supporting employment for key groups, such as college graduates and young people, by seizing the critical window as graduates enter the job market and accelerating measures to help more people secure jobs as early as possible, ministry spokesperson Cui Pengcheng said at a news conference on Tuesday. China has set a target of around 5.5% for the surveyed urban unemployment rate in 2026 and aims to create more than 12 million new urban jobs this year. In collaboration with other departments, about 59,000 job fairs have been held nationwide, offering 36 million positions. Nearly 1 million “point-to-point” transportation trips have been provided for migrant workers, he added.
