China's registered urban employment, or newly added jobs, was at a 3-year low of 380,000 in December, sliding from 840,000 in October and 550,000 in November.

Minister of Human Resources and Social Security Yin Weimin said on Tuesday.

Around 11 million migrant workers haven't found a job so far, making the group the hardest hit in the financial crisis, Yin said during the annual sessions of the NPC and CPPCC.
