Yin Weimin, Minister of Ministry of H.R. & Social Security, said that employment situation in China is very grave.

"Economic growth is a key factor in promoting employment. China's economic growth is slowing down due to the international financial crisis. Consequently, many problems have arisen in employment. The current job situation is severe."
