[Presenter] Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev visited Pacific National University in Khabarovsk today. The former Khabarovsk polytechnic institute is the only classic education establishment in the region. But even so its graduates find it difficult to find jobs. Medvedev admitted that there is a problem. The figures he mentioned are sad.

[Medvedev] This year some 100,000-150,000 university graduates may have problems finding jobs. This is a large number. We should do our best to alleviate the problem. As for other incentives, apart from administrative ones which I have mentioned, of course we should consider economic incentives to make it beneficial for companies, for small and medium-size companies to employ university graduates.
