The number of foreign companies on the list of the top 50 preferred employers voted by Chinese college students has plunged to four from last year's 21.ChinaHR.com, an on-line employment agency, Thursday released its report on college students' preference of employers, a poll of 200,000 students from more than 700 universities from November last year to May this year.
Atlanta Hawks jerseysAmong the top 50 best employers, 46 were local companies, including 33 state-owned enterprises. The four foreign companies in the top 50 were Microsoft, Google, Jardine Matheson, and Procter and Gamble.
Boston Celtics jerseysOuyang Hui, a supervisor with the human resource research center of ChinaHR, said local companies had made great headway in salaries, corporate culture and nurturing talents, challenging foreign companies in the fight for employees.
Chicago Bulls jerseysOuyang also believed the global financial crisis prompted more students to favor government agencies, government-funded institutions and state-owned enterprises -- employers deemed to be offering "gold rice bowls," jobs they might never loose.
Cleveland Cavaliers jerseysAccording to the survey, students valued a fair and transparent corporate mobility system over salary and welfare.The survey also showed that 53.7 percent of respondents planned to run their own businesses in five years.

Google Inc said on Monday it has cut commercial ties with two of its Chinese advertising agents, raising concerns that the Internet giant's recent standoff with the government may scare away more domestic advertisers.Michael Jackson MemorialThe US-based search engine has ended partnerships with Universal Internet Media and Xi'an Weihua Network, which are the major advertising agents for Google in East and Northwest China, Marsha Wang, spokesperson for Google China, told China Daily.New England Patriots jerseysUniversal Internet Media is based in Suzhou, Jiangsu province and Xi'an Weihua Network is based in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province. The two are among 25 of Google's authorized adverting agents in the country.New Orleans Saints jerseys"The partnerships ended a couple of weeks ago because both sides felt there were no longer any mutual benefits," Wang said. She declined to comment on how the breakup would affect Google's Chinese business.New York Giants jerseysSince Google announced earlier this year that it would stop providing filtered results in its search service and redirect all mainland traffic to its Hong Kong site, a number of its advertisers have expressed concerns and reduced their advertising spending on the US search engine.New York Jets jerseysGoogle's market share in China dropped to 24 percent in the second quarter of this year, from 31 percent in the first quarter, figures from research firm Analysys International showed. Market share is measured by advertising revenue.Oakland Raiders jerseysThe market share of Baidu, Google's rival in the Chinese market, hit a record high of above 70 percent during the past three months.It is unclear whether Google's departure from Universal Internet Media and Xi'an Weihua Network will impact its partnership with other advertising agents.Philadelphia Eagles jerseysCheng Yu, general manager of Zoom Interactive, a Google authorized advertising agent in Beijing, said on Monday his company will continue its partnership with Google."Many advertisers still trust Google's advertising network so we will continue to do business with them," he said.Pittsburgh Steelers jerseysBut he also said that his company does not have many alternatives to Google, as Baidu has already built up its own advertising system and other domestic search engines such as Tencent and Sohu are still too small to partner with.The response from Google's advertising agents is "quite normal" because many advertisers have reduced their spending on Google, Analysys president Edward Yu said.San Diego Chargers jerseysHe warned that Google's market share in China may further decline if the company does not take measures to sooth advertisers' concerns.Google will still commit to China's online advertising market and will not give up its Chinese website, Wang said on Monday.

Pittsburgh Steelers JerseyThe Prime Minister wants to 'liberate' millions from the tyranny of 'top-down, heavy, controlling' New York Giants Jerseygovernment which he says has sapped their sense of responsibility and civic duty. He will also announce four new 'vanguard communities' ¨C parts of the country that will be asked to take charge of their own affairs. The plan involves the quartet being handed new powers that will allow them to bypass red tape and take swift decisions themselves.

PHILADELPHIA ¨C One of America's most enduring superheroes has begun a cross-country trek in Philadelphia.In the pages of DC Comics' latest issue of Superman, which hits stands Wednesday, the Man of Steel embarks on a yearlong journey of more than 1,000 miles with a single step. But for all his strength, insight and intelligence, he still has a thing or two to learn about geography.The 500 block of South 48th Street is described as the city's "South Side," though no such neighborhood exists in Philadelphia. The area is actually a section of west Philadelphia known wholesale NFL jerseys as University City, and the flub has generated a little bit of good-natured ribbing from locals."We really love to hear that because it means people are reading it and there's a sense of area pride," DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio said. "If we stand corrected, that's OK."Superman issue No. 701 marks the first installment of the 12-issue "Grounded" series that aims to re-establish the 72-year-old superhero's role as defender of the powerless, a theme that resonated with Chicago Bears Jerseys Depression-era readers."At a time in our history when the economy had crashed, and we were recovering from an expensive world war (before we began numbering them), when there was great political upheaval ... he stepped out of the shadows as someone who supported all sides, as long as they were fair and decent," writer J. Michael Straczynski told The Associated Press in a recent e-mail. "Those times sound a lot like these times, so it makes sense to bring him back around to that role."During his trek Cleveland Browns Jerseys through the city of Brotherly Love, Superman foils a crew of heckling drug dealers, saves an elderly man having a heart attack and talks a despondent woman off a ledge ¡ª literally.Our Krypton-born, Kansas-bred protagonist lacks schooling in the finer points of ordering a cheesesteak ¡ª he inelegantly dubs it a "Philly cheese steak sandwich" ¡ª but the waitress taking his order lets the faux pas slide. She also cheerfully allows the cash-strapped superhero, who was a vegetarian in another DC series several years back, to work off his bill by cleaning a storage room.This is really supposed to be Philadelphia?"They didn't do very well, but they tried," Robert Lefevre, manager of Brave New Worlds comic book store downtown, said with a laugh. "Maybe they confused us with Chicago, which Dallas Cowboys Jerseys has a South Side. And 'Philly cheese steak sandwich,' nobody says that."Still, he said customers are responding positively to the issue and sales have been brisk.Superman's next stop is Detroit, where issues like unemployment and poverty will be woven into a superhero story line, DiDio said. Subsequent locations will be determined based on a recently completed essay contest that asked fans to write about their town and how Superman inspires them.

LOS ANGELES ¨C Investors sold off shares in Live Nation Entertainment Inc. on ed hardy Thursday, despite the concert promotion and ticket-selling giant's bid to overcome a rash of negative press about a weak summer concert season. Live Nation took its case directly to Wall Street analysts, but midway through the meeting, its shares plummeted more than 16 percent, wiping out some $322 million in market value. The stock recovered somewhat to end the day with an 11 percent decline, down $1.24 at $10.19. The company said its adjusted operating income for 2010 is expected to be $405 million, down from $445 million last year, despite the benefits of its merger with Ticketmaster Entertainment. Earnings could fall to $365 million if things get worse, the company said. Chief Executive Michael Rapino said he noticed the reaction of analysts and investors attending the New York presentation as the company shared its earnings outlook. "We had a real buzz kill," he said. Executive Chairman Irving Azoff, who presented via video conference, chided investors for the sell-off, at one point looking off camera and calling the stock "ridiculously cheap," and said investors would be "shortsighted" to sell. The executives emphasized that Live Nation is doing better than the ed hardy shoes overall industry, which has been hurt by a series of tour cancellations. Live Nation sold 4 percent fewer tickets in the first six months of the year compared to last year. For the Top 100 bands in the industry as a whole, the drop was 12 percent. The company's gross ticket revenue was down 9 percent to $822 million for the first six months. That compared to a 17 percent decline to $966 million for the Top 100 tours, according to tracking firm Pollstar. It said industry ticket volumes could fall 15 percent in the second half, even as it struggles to fill its summer amphitheaters by using steep discounts. U2's postponement of its tour until next year will cost the company $6 million this year, although it should make it up next year on the rescheduled tour. Other acts, such as Rihanna, The Eagles, Simon and Garfunkel, The Jonas Brothers and Limp Bizkit have ed hardy clothing also canceled or postponed tour dates. The company said that while the most popular acts continue to sell out, less popular ones are having trouble. "It's not a U2 or a Lady Gaga problem," said Jason Garner, the chief executive of Live Nation's global music group. "There's that middle segment of the bands ... that's trying to have that same $50 or $60 price that Jay-Z has. They're getting nipped in the bud." More artists are going out on tour to make money because recorded music sales continue to fall. That's creating a glut of acts whose tickets are priced too high for this economy, said Pollstar editor-in-chief Gary Bongiovanni. "Prices have to come down to a level that the public will accept," he said cheap mbt shoes .
