Hiring prospects have worsened in China, recruitment firm Manpower Group found in its latest survey released Tuesday.
A representative from Manpower in China was not available for comment on the report, which said second-quarter hiring plans were"conservative."

He added that the government must make sure people have jobs in order to ensure social well-being and consumption, which is critical for the economy.However, consumers may be less willing to spend as uncertainty grows about their job security and wage growth.
