BEIJING - China's registered unemployment rate in urban areas stood at 4.04 percent by the end of June, edging down from the 4.05 percent seen by March, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MHRSS) said on Friday.
A total of 7.18 million new jobs were created in urban areas in the first half of the year, ministry spokesman Li Zhong said at a press conference.
