In the first quarter of 2023, Guangdong Province added more than 295,500 new urban jobs, according to statistics released by the province. This is part of the province's efforts to promote employment through various policies and measures.
Furthermore, the number of unemployed people who have found work in Guangdong during the first quarter of 2023 has reached 103,100, while 20,100 people facing employment difficulties have also found employment. These positive developments indicate a steady improvement in the employment situation in the province.
Policy-oriented jobs increased by 40,000 compared to last year
To address the high number of graduates in the province, which has reached 970,000 this year, the Guangdong Provincial Employment Working Group has recently issued an action plan. The plan includes 10 actions, such as expanding market-oriented positions, guiding grassroots talent, and fast-tracking policy positions, and 35 specific measures to promote employment and entrepreneurship for graduates.
Moreover, the province has also increased efforts to develop policy-oriented positions, with a total of 346,000 policy-oriented positions created by various government agencies, state-owned enterprises, grassroots projects, and military enlistment. This is an increase of more than 40,000 positions from the previous year. Among them, the number of civil servants recruited has increased by 5,000, research assistants by 5,500, and military enlistment by 2,000. These measures have contributed significantly to the province's job creation efforts and have given job seekers more opportunities to pursue their careers.
Weekly job fairs
The job market in Guangdong Province has remained active this year, with the local governments' human resources departments organizing over 2,700 online and offline job fairs since the beginning of the year. Among them, more than 300 job fairs were dedicated to college graduates, with new events being held almost every week, providing many job opportunities for fresh graduates.

In the coming months, the Human Resources and Social Security Department of Guangdong Province plans to hold large-scale job fairs in the Pearl River Delta, eastern, western, and northern Guangdong. These events will include policy briefings, career guidance, live-streamed interviews, and other services, aiming to further improve the employment rate and optimize the job-seeking process for graduates.
Increase employment channel for youth from Hong Kong and Macao

This move is part of the province's efforts to broaden employment opportunities for Hong Kong and Macao youth.
In addition to centralized recruitment, the Human Resources and Social Security Department is also mobilizing local units to actively organize their own recruitment. According to statistics, in the first quarter, various levels and types of public institutions in the province announced more than 11,000 self-recruitment positions, and throughout the year, at least 68,000 civil service positions will be available to college graduates.
Just a week ago, the Human Resources and Social Security Department announced plans to recruit 3,000 college graduates to work in rural areas as part of efforts to support education, agriculture, healthcare, and rural revitalization.
