Although China' s economy is booming more rapidly and widely than ever before since the Chinese economic reform has been implemented， the development of the tertiary industry is lagging behind that of both of primary and secondary industry and the growth rate of employment of China tertiary industry is lower than that of its production value. However，the tertiary industry still has plenty more potential capacity to create new work opportunities. Therefore， This essay will apply comparative analysis method to research on employment problem in tertiary industry， such as comparing the percentage of employment with that of developed countries， comparing the employment situation with dif erent regions and comparing with various sectors within the tertiary industry to find that traditional services-base sector absorbs too much more labours，which could not solve the unemployment problem essentially because the ability of that sector is very limited to accelerate economic growth. Furthermore， the essay will suggest that the government could large extent develop those modern sectors of the tertiary industry with larger capacity for new work opportunities to boost employment.
