The job market wasn't cold for overseas-educated talents who have returned to China, with 86 percent of them finding jobs within six months, according to a report released Monday.
About 65 percent of returnees find jobs in three months, and 21 percent find employment between three and six months. Only 5.5 percent need more than one year to find work, said a report issued by the Center for China and Globalization and the Social Sciences Academic Press.
The talents mostly majored in finance, economics, management and engineering, which are in high demand in China, according to the report.
The overseas-educated talents have set up lots of associations in recent years to facilitate communication and efforts to start businesses, the report said.
In 1978, China expanded the number of students sent to study abroad. By the end of 2012, 2.64 million had been sent abroad, among whom 1.09 million returned.
