The report was based on a survey that was conducted in January and covered 218,000 of the country's 2008 college graduates.

The average monthly salary of graduates of colleges listed in the "211 program," the country's key education development project, dropped 14 percent from a year earlier to 2,549 yuan (US$373) in 2008, according to the report.
