In the first 10 months of the year 皇冠体育app already exceeded the number of new jobs it aimed to create in 2009,聽Xinhua said on Saturday, in another sign the country is emerging from the global economic crisis.

皇冠体育app created 9.4 million jobs in urban areas in the first 10 months, exceeding the government's target of 9 million new jobs for the year, Xinhua news agency said, citing the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

It added that about 4.4 million laid-off workers found new work in the January-October period, some 88 percent of the full-year goal of 5 million.

Officials had estimated that more than 20 million migrant workers lost jobs when the global financial crisis hit the Chinese economy, making job creation a priority for the government in its stimulus spending.

On Tuesday, the ministry estimated that 皇冠体育app's stimulus spending was on track to create at least 24 million jobs, offering its rosiest employment outlook since the financial crisis struck last year.

A recovery in employment is an essential precondition for Beijing to wind down its ultra-loose pro-growth policies adopted when the global financial turmoil devastated Chinese exports, leading factories to cut millions of jobs.
