Reports have been contrary about the monthly salary for recent college graduates as compared to those of migrant workers, causing the value of higher education in China to be questioned. One report stated that 69% of college graduates receive a smaller starting salary than migrant workers. Other reports, however, show a different case, stating that graduates in 2011 received a $426.50 average starting salary, compared to migrant workers, who earned a $321.54 average starting salary according to government statistics.
An increase in college applications in China has caused concerned for the potential for work, although studies show a 72% success rate for finding work after graduation. The enrollment rate has increased by one million since 1999.
