Actually, the number of job position remains unchanged.

Besides, the % rise of unemployed ppl is greater than the% rise in labour force, so, the unemployment rate rises.

I know how you think of this question.
the question only mentioned that those mainland graduates WILL stay and work in hong kong.
But, it doesnt mean that those graduates have got a job.

You should know that there is no additional jobs available.
Once they are graduated, the need to find jobs.
Here, they have already been counted as unemployed population
