China IT Job Vacancies Down 20,000 in 2009

There have been 77,257 IT related job vacancies available nationwide since 2009, over 20,000 less than the same period last year, figures from 51job Inc (NASDAQ: JOBS), a Chinese integrated human resource services provider, have shown. The number of IT jobs offered in Beijing added up to 18,000. Experts say the hardware, software, electronics and semiconductor sectors should brace themselves for a bigger impact of the global recession and make good use of China's burgeoning 3G business.
