Those who find work in Shanghai can expect to bring home around 10,967 yuan per year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chinas_hottest_job_markets\"><\/span>China&#8217;s hottest job <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inside_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hiredchina.com\/articles\/tag\/markets\/\" title=\"View all posts in markets\">markets<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no longer any difficulty in securing employment in a foreign nation.
