According to a joint survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the employment rate of university students scheduled to graduate in the spring of 2022 (as of October 10) increased from the same period last year to 1%.Despite the impact of the new coronavirus infectious disease epidemic, it is believed that the company's willingness to hire has increased and the number of job offers has increased.

 The survey was conducted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, with 21 national universities, 3 public universities, 38 private universities, 20 junior colleges, 10 colleges of technology, and 20 vocational schools (specialized courses), for a total of 120 schools 6,250.

 The breakdown of the employment rate for university students is 69.2% (down 2.7 points) for national and public universities and 71.8% (up 2.7 points) for private universities.By gender, male students accounted for 70.7% (up 1.9 points) and female students 71.7% (up 0.8 points).By humanities and sciences, the humanities were 70.8% (up 2.1 points) and the sciences were 72.6% (down 1.9 points).

 The job offer rate as of October reached a record low of 10% in 2010, which was affected by the Lehman shock, and then gradually recovered from the economic recovery and labor shortage to 57.6% in 2018.However, in 77, partly due to the spread of the new corona infection, it was below the 2020% level at 69.8%.
