Under the plan, 18 million urban workers will be employed throughout 2009 and 2010. During the same period, 18 million rural laborers will be allowed to move to cities to seek jobs.

The plan is designed to keep the urban unemployment rate below five percent. Employment for college graduates and migrant workers will also be a priority.

Meanwhile, on the healthcare issue, over 4-hundred-million people will receive basic health insurance by 2010. Government departments at all levels will also provide more subsidies for residents in both urban and rural areas.
