The most popular booth at the fair belongs to China Railway, a state-owned behemoth . The firm’s recruiter says it pays new graduates around 4,000 yuan ($580) a month. That is less than half the average salary in Beijing and not even double the city’s minimum wage. Mr Su nonetheless submits his cv. “What can you do? There are too many of us,” he laments.

展会上最受欢迎的展位属于国有大型企业中国铁路。该公司招聘人员说他们付给应届毕业生的薪水大概月是每月4000人民币（相当于580美元）。这还不到北京平均工资的一半，甚至还不到北京最低工资的两倍。尽管如此，苏先生还是递交了他的简历。“你能怎么办？求职的人太多了。”他哀叹道。

Chinese universities produced a record 8.3m graduates this summer. That is more than the entire population of Hong Kong, and up from 5.7m a decade ago. Tougher visa policies in much of the West mean that China will also receive nearly half a million returning graduates from foreign institutions this year. It is not a propitious time to enter the job market. China’s economy, buffeted by the trade war with America, is growing at its slowest pace in nearly 30 years. This year fully two-thirds of all workers joining the labour force will be university graduates, up from around half just three years ago. Mr Su wonders whether the number of graduates has outstripped the labour market’s ability to absorb them.

今年夏天中国大学创造了830万毕业生的记录。这的数字比整个香港人口还多，十年前香港人口才上升到570万。而西方国家更严厉的签证政策意味着还会使将近50万的海外留学生毕业返回中国。现在并不是进入中国就业市场的有力时机。受到和美国贸易战冲击的中国经济正在以近30年来最慢的速度增长。今年，所有加入劳动力市场的工人中，三分之二将是大学生，比三年前的大约一半还要多。苏先生想要知道毕业生的数量是否已经超过劳动力市场吸收他们的能力。
