College graduates who majored in tech-related disciplines and those with livestream-suited skills became the most in-demand recruits during China’s coronavirus-influenced spring hiring season, even though many of them have reservations about working in the hot area of streaming.

Computer engineering and science majors made up 20 of the 30 most-wanted majors for domestic employment this year, according to a report released on Wednesday by Chinese recruiting app operator Boss Zhipin. It also found college graduates who majored in film production, journalism and broadcast communications had become in high demand, driven by China’s live-streaming boom.
