With the data from Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS 2008), this article examines the differences of employment attainment between college students from rural and urban areas. The results show as follows:(1) the proportion of urban college students who enter party and government organs is higher than that of rural college students. The same trend happens with college students who enter the organizations directed by the central and provincial government departments. Meanwhile, we find that the proportion of urban college students who are self-employed has been higher than that of rural college students since 2000;(2) Although the great majority of rural and urban college students choose to work in cities, the proportion of rural college students who choose to work in countryside is higher than that of urban college students;(3) annual employment income of rural college students had been higher than that of urban college students before 2000. But after 2000, this trend reversed;(4) there are no significant differences between rural and urban college students in labor contract signing, endowment and medical insurance. The root of differences between rural and urban college students in employment attainment lies with different family social capital and human capital.%本研究使用中国综合社会调查CGSS2008年数据探讨了农村籍大学毕业生与城市籍大学毕业生就业获得差异。研究发现：（1）更高比例城市籍毕业生进入党政机关以及主管单位为中央/省级的单位工作。2000年之后，城市籍毕业生选择自雇的比例显著高于农村籍毕业生；（2）绝大多数城市籍和农村籍毕业生选择在城市特别是大城市就业，选择去乡镇、农村就业的比例越来越少，但是选择回农村或乡镇就业的农村籍毕业生比例高于城市籍毕业生；（3）2000级以前，农村籍毕业生全年职业收入高于城市籍毕业生。但是2000级以后，城市籍毕业生全年职业收入超过了农村籍大毕业生；（4）农村籍毕业生与城市籍毕业生在劳动合同签订、养老保险和医疗保险等工作保障上没有显著差异。本研究还进一步分析了造成农村籍毕业生和城市籍毕业生就业获得差异的原因，发现社会资本（特别是先赋社会资本）以及人力资本差异（毕业于不同层次大学）是造成两者就业获得差异的主要原因。
