According to the Beijing Times, some universities in China are cheating on their respective employment rates by signing false employment agreements for their graduates.
It is learned that some college graduates are now publishing posts online discussing about their schools' signing false employment agreements for them. A student said online that his university had signed an employment agreement on his behalf with a company that he had never heard of. And, of course, the university did this without his knowledge. The student stated that he was "so excited" that he published the post to celebrate his "being employed". Some other students also revealed that they had similar experiences or were even asked by their school to "be employed", which means that they had to find a seal to stamp their employment agreement even if they had not been offered a job.
According to an official from China's Education Department, about 4.15 million new college graduates in China had found jobs by July 1, 2009 and the employment rate of this group has reached 68%, which is almost the same level as that of the same period of last year.
