China's job market has remained stable and the quality of employment has been rising, said a white paper on moderate prosperity released by the State Council Information Office Tuesday.

China's employed population rose from 180 million in 1949 to 750 million in 2020, according to the white paper titled "China's Epic Journey from Poverty to Prosperity."

The employment structure has improved to the extent that 47.7 percent of the workforce are now employed in the tertiary sector, and 61.6 percent are working in cities.

The number of skilled workers has reached about 200 million, indicating a higher-quality workforce, the document noted.

The employed have seen their lawful rights and interests protected, their pay increased, and their incomes secured, it added.
