points lower that in the previous year.
Meanwhile, the per capita disposable income of urban residents
is 10,493 yuan, a real growth of 9.6 percent after deducting price

At the same time, the registered urban unemployment rate stood
at 4.2 percent at the end of 2005, remaining at the same level as
