Dear MEL Topic Readers, 
Competition heats up for new civil jobs
This past June, over 12 million new college graduates with bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees were poured into the already overcrowded job market, where millions of previously graduated students have been struggling to find jobs. There are simply not so many job opportunities that require university degrees, especially for those who have no previous work experience or particular expertise. On November 30, the national civil service exam for central government institutions was held. Of the 3.718 million qualified applicants, 2.83 million took the exams for 38,100 positions open for 2026, an average of 74 candidates per position. One extreme example is a police officer’s position in Yunnan province, which attracted nearly 6,500 applicants. As AI becomes part of business and daily life, is there a golden rule to get an *iron rice bowl?
*Iron Rice Bowl is a Chinese metaphor for job security and stability, like civil service jobs.
