The survey asked 112 people from 6,250 schools, including universities and junior colleges selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, about their employment status by telephone or interview.
According to the report, the employment rate of male students at 4-year colleges was 88.3%, and that of female students was 91.4%, both higher than the same period of the previous year by 0.2 points.89.1% of liberal arts students and 92.3% of science students are also 0.2 points higher than the same period of the previous year.By region, the employment rate in the Kanto area was the highest, at 1.7%, 92.5 points higher than in the same period of the previous year.

　The job offer rate for junior college students is 86.9%.It was 4.2 points higher than the same period of the previous year.The percentage of vocational school students was 81.6%, which was 4.9 points higher than the same period of the previous year, but the number of college students was only 94.1%, which was 3.0 points lower than the same period of the previous year.

　It is the first time in two years that the employment rate of university students has exceeded the same period of the previous year, but the rate of increase is smaller than in October and December 2.It is thought that the cause was that after the beginning of the year, sufficient job hunting was not possible due to behavioral restrictions associated with the spread of the new Coronaomicron strain, and that the outlook for the world economy was uncertain.
