Urban jobless rate falls to 4.09%

CHINA’S registered unemployment rate in urban areas stood at 4.09 percent in 2014, slightly down from 4.1 percent in 2013, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said yesterday.

A total of 13.22 million new jobs were created in urban areas last year, up from 13.1 million in 2013, ministry spokesman Li Zhong said at a press conference.

The government pledged in March last year to add over 10 million jobs and keep the registered urban jobless rate below 4.6 percent in 2014.
