BEIJING -- China's 99 centrally administered state-owned enterprises
(SOEs) planed to recruit more than 203,000 graduates this year as to
ease job pressure, the state-owned assets administrator said.

The recruitment number is 7 percent more than that of the previous
year.

The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission
(SASAC) said more than 45 centrally administered SOEs would increase
their headcounts this year, while 30 of them would hire the same
amount of graduates compared with last year.

China National Petroleum Corp., the country's largest oil and gas
producer and supplier, has by far held more than 30 job fairs in
universities. It planned to recruit 13,000 graduates this year, an
increase of 37 percent year on year.

China Railway Construction Corp., the nation's largest contractor, has
recruited 13,000 graduates, an increase of more than 45 percent, or
4,060 people, compared with 2007.
Among all the SOEs, the Commercial Aircraft Corp. saw the largest
increase. It planned to recruit 1,362 graduates, which was 212 percent
more than its previous plan.

The SASAC said it would strengthen supervision over the SOEs to put in
place the recruitment. It also urged to further expand employment by
offering more scientific research projects and probation jobs.
