Authorities of the Nantong Economic and Technological Development Area (NETDA) in East China's Jiangsu province held a nighttime job fair on July 18 as part of efforts to promote the resumption of work and production in the area. 

The fair was aimed at helping job seekers, including college graduates, migrant workers and retirees, find jobs within the area's four pillar industries of new-generation technology, high-end equipment, healthcare and new energy. 

More than 50 major enterprises based in NETDA participated in the fair. 

Authorities also offered guidance to job hunters at the job fair by explaining policies related to subsidies and low-interest loans. 

Authorities have been trying to integrate job fairs with nighttime markets so as to increase employment, attract talent and further bolster the city's nighttime economy.
