China needs to sustain economic growth of 7.2 percent to ensure a stable job market, Premier Li Keqiang said in remarks published on Tuesday, one of the few times a top official has stated the minimum level of growth needed for employment. "We want to stabilize economic growth because we need to guarantee employment essentially," Li said at a national workers' meeting two weeks ago. China's economy is set to grow at its slackest pace in 23 years this year, at 7.5 percent, as its export sales falter on fragile global demand. "If the exports drop sharply, it would bring employment problem," Li said.
