China aims to create 45 million new jobs: report from MarketWatch.com - MarketPulse HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- China's cabinet, the State Council, approved a plan Wednesday to create 45 million new jobs through 2015, setting a target of holding urban unemployment under 5%, according to report by the state-run Xinhua news agency. The plan included upgrading employment regulations and improvements to workers' rights and benefits, the report said. The government acknowledged it saw harder times ahead, with job-market conditions to be "complicated" during the currenct national economic plan running from last year through 2015, the report said. China's urban unemployment rate stood at 4.1% at the end of 2011, unchanged from a year earlier, according to official data, though some analysts have questioned the accuracy of the jobless data.
