China has created over eight million new jobs in the first ten months of the year, leading to the reemployment of more than 4 million laid-off workers.

Officials from the Ministry of Labor and Social Security say that so far about 14 million people in China are registered as officially unemployed, and many of them are receiving free training and job placements from local governments, China Radio International reported Tuesday.

China has planned to create nine million new jobs to get five million more people back to work this year.
