Unemployed college graduates who hold a Beijing hukou or permanent residence permit will receive at least one job offer by suitable employers in the coming month amid the global economic slowdown, the municipal bureau of personnel said yesterday.

Job seekers will have to register at related departments in Beijing's 18 districts and counties, who will match them with employers, Lu Lin, director of the bureau's college graduate employment department, told a work conference.

At least 210,000 local college graduates are expected to enter the job market this year, 14,000 more than last year, figures from the Beijing Municipal Education Commission show. Of these, more than 90,000 will hold the Beijing hukou.
