The post and communication industry is in bad need of e-business and computer game software developers.

Beijing is also thirsty for architectural professionals, such as experienced project managers and budget workers.

According to the bureau's estimation, whole sale and retail, catering industries would also have an increasing need for employees in 2005. The fast-growing service sector would have to face a continued shortage of labor force supply.
