With nearly 7 million graduates this year, and adding on the unemployed students from previous years, the number of graduates struggling to find jobs before leaving school is estimated to have reached over 3 million, said Wang Yujun, from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, at a press conference for the “2012 China Social Security Reform and Development Report”.
