Govt seeking to stabilize employment

Policies target companies that hire college graduates, migrant workers

The central government is endeavoring to stabilize employment and help companies to minimize losses caused by novel coronavirus pneumonia, a senior official said at a news conference organized by the State Council on Wednesday.

"Stabilizing hiring this year is quite arduous because of the epidemic," You Jun, vice-minister of human resources and social security, said at the conference.

You said that the central government has stressed an employment-first policy and is stepping up efforts to arrange for migrant workers to go back to work and help college graduates find jobs.
