Local government has launched a job program this year and helped 11,000 needy people find jobs in the first quarter. District and county administrations are the organizers of the program. The program creates such jobs as police assistants, campus guards, hospital cleaners and safe production assistants at the construction sites, for the poor and unemployed people.
Compared with a similar program last year, which helped 67,000 needy people find jobs all year through, this year's program helps a larger population and targets worse educated population. Most of last year's job vacancies demanded that the candidates were educated either in school or through vocational programs, but this year's are mostly involved in the service sector, which needs hard work rather than knowledge.
