Most people have experienced some kind of discrimination when seeking jobs, according to a survey.
The discrimination involves gender, age, educational background and physical attributes. The recent survey covered 3,500 people in 10 major cities.

"Some so-called must-be requirements for jobs are ridiculous," Cai said. Female job seekers encounter discrimination over future maternity leave.
