Influence of epidemic situation on employment
The impact of the epidemic on employment is as follows:

First, the number of jobs has drastically decreased. The number of jobs mainly depends on the level and speed of economic development. Due to the severe impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the global economy is rapidly declining, and a large number of enterprises have difficulties in operating, so they can only lay off employees on a large scale or greatly reduce the number of recruits to cope with the crisis.

Taking the financial industry as an example, a survey data shows that in the financial industry, especially in internet finance-related fields, the number of recruitment positions of fresh graduates has dropped by more than 50% compared with the same period of 20 19. The lack of economic growth directly leads to the difficulty for most college graduates to find jobs than in previous years, and many graduates can't find suitable jobs in a short time.

In response to the epidemic, online job fairs have become an important channel for graduates to obtain employment opportunities. Although the number of jobs obtained by graduates has increased compared with previous years, the actual number of effective jobs has dropped significantly, and the success rate of online recruitment is much lower than that of offline recruitment.

Second, the employment competition is more intense. According to the data released by the Ministry of Education, the number of college graduates in 2022 was10.76 million, an increase of more than19 years, reaching a record high. Due to the intensification of foreign epidemics, employment opportunities and learning opportunities have been greatly reduced, forcing a large number of international students to choose to return to China for employment. According to statistics, in 2065 and 438+08, the number of overseas graduates was 565,438,000 +09,000 respectively, and in 2065, 438+09 and 2020, the number was 580,300 and 800,000 respectively, with a very rapid growth.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, some graduates who are going to study abroad have to choose direct employment in China. Coupled with the unemployed college graduates in previous years, the employment competition is even greater.

On the one hand, a large number of jobs are reduced, on the other hand, the number of graduates is greatly increased, which has caused great competitive pressure on the employment of college graduates.

Third, the average salary level has decreased and the mobility has increased. According to the joint research report of Guanghua School of Management of Peking University and Zhaopin, due to the epidemic, the number of jobs and recruits in domestic enterprises decreased by about 27% year-on-year. Job seekers with less work experience, especially fresh graduates, can get more employment opportunities and salaries.

In the occupational survey, the occupational salaries of those engaged in basic education, training, primary medical care, finance, trade and other industries have dropped significantly. According to a survey conducted by the Social Investigation Center of China Youth Daily, 52.6% of recent graduates said that it was difficult for them to meet their salary expectations due to the epidemic.

If graduates can't lower their salary expectations in time, it will not be easy to find suitable jobs, and it will also increase the instability and mobility of college graduates.

Fourth, the psychological problem of employment is universal. With the increasingly severe employment situation and fierce competition for job hunting, the psychological pressure of college graduates' employment is increasing, and psychological problems that have never appeared before or are not serious have become more common, such as psychological neglect and psychological anxiety in employment, which not only affect their physical and mental health, but also affect their employment.

Living at home or school during the graduation period is easy to form a leisurely mentality. Once it is difficult to find a job or find a job again, graduates will have the phenomenon of "slow employment", "slow employment" or "temporary unemployment"
