A total of 36,340 university graduates were still unemployed in South China's Guangdong Province at the end of last month, reports Guangzhou-based New Express News.
About 42 percent of the local university graduates have found jobs, compared to 45 percent in the same period last year.
Majors in computer science, advertising, automatics, machinery, electronic engineering, environmental protection, foreign trade, finance, medicine, foreign languages and public security are still in short supply.
But those majoring in Chinese, history, philosophy, forestry and agriculture are having difficulty in finding jobs in the province.
