China Daily  

For senior students in the colleges, it's time to depart. Earlier, the National Statistics Bureau said the average monthly salary for non-private sector employees in China's urban areas reached 5,169 yuan and for private sector employees, 3,299 yuan. But another media outlet said graduates' spending is on an acceptable level because the graduation season is not only one month, it should include May and June. The graduates' average spending of 6,000 yuan in two month is less than Chinese people's average monthly salary. According to Yangtze Evening Post, the cost of a farewell party for one graduate often reaches around 1,000 yuan per month.
