is similar to those of millions of recent graduates, who are seeking jobs and eking out meager livings in the countrys wealthiest cities. they have diplomas rather than professional skills and scramble to metropolises in hopes of better lives only to find low-paying jobs and miserable living conditions.they are chinas ant tribe（蚁族）, a term coined by sociologist lian si in his 2009 book, ant tribe, “therre so similar to ants. they share small and narrow living areas. theyre intelligent and hardworking, yet anonymous and underpaid.” the term, sociologists have said, also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the concrete jungle - only the strongest survive.a survey in lians another book published this year, ant treibe ii, found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities-almost three times last years percentage. most had degrees in popular majors. in addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a masters degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.an “ants” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan ($286), with about 64 percent of them earning fewer than 2,000 yuan a month.another survey in the 2010 annual report on the development of chinese talent, released by the social sciences academic press in june, found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.“most ants are from rural（农村）families or small towns, and their experiences in ordinary universities didnt arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities employment markets,” professor at renmin university of china zhang ming said.the “ant tribes” embarrassing
