1, the total employment supply decreased.

The outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic has had a great impact on China's economy, that is to say, the epidemic has had a great impact on the production and operation of enterprises. 40% of enterprises report that their operations are at a standstill, and more than 30% of enterprises report that the epidemic will lead to losses. In particular, the epidemic has hit the tertiary industry the hardest, with many enterprises closing down and the employment of enterprises greatly reduced.

The pressure faced by enterprises directly leads to the reduction of employment. At the same time, affected by the epidemic, more enterprises tend to have negative expectations for the future economic prospects, and their investment will also decrease, resulting in a sharp drop in the recruitment demand of college graduates.

2. The employment structure has been impacted.

From an industry perspective, the COVID-19 epidemic has the greatest impact on the service industry. Affected by the epidemic, in the first quarter of 2020, restaurants, hotels, cinemas, tourist attractions and other service places could not operate, resulting in an instantaneous shortage of capital flows and on the verge of bankruptcy. The tertiary industry accounts for more than half of China's GDP and plays an important role in stabilizing and promoting employment.

Affected by the epidemic, many college graduates majoring in the tertiary industry cannot achieve full employment in a short time, and a small number of them will transfer to the secondary and primary industries for employment.

3. The employment salary has declined.

The outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic made enterprises face the pressure of insufficient cash flow, supply chain interruption and general decline in market demand. Realistically, most enterprises expect that their operating income will decrease in the first quarter of 2020. Faced with the impact of supply chain interruption and market slowdown, most enterprises tend to reduce their expenditure costs, among which the most direct decision is to reduce the salary of employees, which must also include the budget that will reduce the expected salary of newly recruited employees.

4. Employment is obviously lagging behind.

Affected by the epidemic, some enterprises that originally had recruitment plans postponed or directly canceled recruitment; Most routine recruitment and further education, such as postgraduate re-examination, teacher recruitment, public institution recruitment examination and civil servant recruitment examination, have been postponed, which has a great impact on the employment choice of college graduates.

Secondly, due to the epidemic prevention and control, college graduates who originally planned to go out for job hunting or internship were restricted and forced to postpone job hunting or internship, which not only increased the difficulty of job hunting for college graduates, but also directly affected their enthusiasm for job hunting.

Second, the positive impact:

1, employment tends to be pragmatic.

The outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic has also brought some positive effects on college students' employment, especially the change of their outlook on job selection. College students are aware of the severe employment situation, and their understanding of employment gradually tends to be rational and pragmatic; On the other hand, college students tend to be rational in the choice of employment areas, instead of blindly pursuing first-tier cities such as "North, Guangzhou and Shenzhen", they choose to work in second-and third-tier cities or even the western region and return to their hometowns to start businesses.

2. Provide new employment opportunities.

The COVID-19 epidemic will inevitably have an impact on the national economy in the short term, but in the long run, the epidemic will eventually end and the national economy and society will eventually return to normal. After entering the post-epidemic period, there will be three positive changes, which will bring new opportunities to college graduates.

First, affected by the epidemic, traditional industries are forced to transform and upgrade, while college graduates are young, knowledgeable and energetic, and they are the effective forces to undertake industrial transformation and upgrading, and have obvious advantages in the new round of industrial upgrading and development;

Second, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the digital transformation of the industry has accelerated, and digital technologies represented by big data and artificial intelligence have been applied to various industrial fields. A large number of new industries and formats have emerged, and new jobs and occupations have been continuously cultivated;

Thirdly, the emergence and spread of COVID-19 epidemic also accelerated the development of industrial integration, especially the depth and breadth of the integration of information industry and other related industries, which promoted the upgrading and high-quality development of related industries, extended the industrial chain, expanded the new path of industrial development, and brought new employment opportunities for college graduates.

3. Departments at all levels pay more attention to the employment of graduates.

Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the employment situation of college students is extremely severe, and the employment problem of college students has become the focus of the whole society. The employment of graduates has always been the focus of the two sessions in 2020, and the primary task of the "six guarantees" and "six guarantees" proposed by the state is employment.
