Expected salary of university graduates has fallen to 3,680 yuan per month, a record low in past four years, the Beijing News reported on Wednesday.

According to China Graduates Employment Pressure Report of 2014 released by Beijing Youth Stress Management Service Center, the expected salary was 5,537 yuan in 2011, almost 2,000 yuan more than this year.

It also shows that there are more than seven million university graduates this year, the highest number in history. However, salary and employment pressure are at the lowest in past four years.

Although the expected salary this year was a slight drop compared to 2013, but seen against the 5,537 yuan in 2011, the decline was substantial.

Meanwhile, with the drop in expected salary, the employment pressure also fell from 18.17 percent last year to 16.91 percent in 2014.
