The Shanghai Employment Information Center has published an employment map for 2006 for job seekers following the seven-day Spring Festival holiday.
This is the second time that Shanghai has issued an employment map following its debut release last year.
The move aims to provide information for job seekers to avoid fierce competition in certain districts or trades, according to Tuesday's China Youth Daily.
The map consists of five regional blocks made up of the center, southeastern, southwestern, northwestern and northeastern blocks.
It also provides industry predictions, expert advice and trade guidance information.
The Shanghai Employment Information Center plans to update the employment map on the first working day after the Spring Festival every year. The map will be posted on the municipal website under public employment.
