In 2014，Chinese employment development is generally stable with some new characteristics. The job rate continues to rise，while the speed slows down；the employment structure continues to improve，while the space for further improvement has been compressed；wages carry on growing while the growth rate is decreasing，and the gap between the highest and the minimum wage has become smaller；the correlation between the economic growth and employment development keeps at a higher level；the effectiveness of a job increase triggered by start-ups becomes more obvious. The employment development is closely related to the employment programmes and policies：graduates employment promotion policies have made some breakthrough；migrant workers employment promotion programmes and policies have made new progresses；start-ups promotion programmes become more grounded；employment related public service has imporved；the strategies of supporting businesses to maintain their job stability have been enhanced. Under the “new normal”，Chinese employment development is facing huge opportunities and challenges at the same time，the government needs to face up to the challenges，and make bigger efforts on strengthening the job increase capacity of the economy，solving the problems of the labour supply and demand mismatch，and exploring innovative approaches to employment promotion.
