Interesting piece on the Above The Law blog indicating that China has too many law graduates and doesn’t know what to do with them. I suppose we can’t have them running around talking about human rights, environmental issues and corporate corruption can we.
ABL report
Law has topped the list of the 10 most difficult professions to land a job in the country for two consecutive years, taking the No 1 slot in 2008 and No 2 in 2007, according to a joint study released in June 2009 by China?s Academy of Social Science and Beijing-based consulting company Mycos Institute. ?
The study showed that the 2008 unemployment rate for law graduates was 23 percent in the six months after graduation, marginally higher than the average for all majors of 22 percent.
The 2008 Blue Paper on China?s Rule of Law, published by the Procuratorial Daily, also shows law graduates have the lowest employment rate among all bachelor?s of arts degrees.
