SALARIES for fresh college graduates jumped 20 percent last month from a year ago, with the biggest hirers being information technology and Internet firms, recruitment portal zhaopin.com said yesterday.

The average salary offered for fresh graduates was 4,793 yuan (US$773.06) per month, about 840 yuan more than a year ago, the website said in a survey conducted in April that covered 58,996 university students who are slated to graduate in July.

Law graduates were highest paid with an average salary of 5,200 yuan a month, while philosophy graduates earned the lowest average salary of 3,667 yuan, the survey said.

Firms paid higher salaries amid better business prospects and young job seekers also demanded higher wages, the survey said.

Information technology and Internet companies were the most popular employers among fresh graduates, according to the survey.
