China – First-tier cities become popular destinations for talent, finds LinkedIn

Filed under: News |

China’s emerging first-tier cities have become popular destinations for the inflow of talented professionals, according to LinkedIn.

LinkedIn’s data showed that emerging first-tier cities (first-tier cities are classified as having GDP over USD 300 billion), such as Hangzhou, Chengdu, Suzhou and Xiamen have outperformed Beijing and Shanghai in attracting professionals. This is due to their growth potential and job opportunities, according to LinkedIn.

For jobseekers in these first-tier cities, the Internet sector is the most attractive industry, followed by real estate, automobiles, financial services and education management.

“The employment landscape is in line with the industrial development of these sectors, with emerging industries and those undergoing upgrading posting stronger demand for professionals,” Zhou Zhenyu, a senior LinkedIn data expert, said.

The data from Linkedin also showed that Chinese workers are changing their jobs more frequently than before. The average time spent in one workplace shrank from 34 months in the 2014-2015 period to 22 months in the 2017-2018 period, pointing to a more vibrant employment market.
