According to a 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 this spring was 2020% as of December 12.It is the first time in five years since a student who graduated in 82.2 that the offer rate as of December fell below 87.1%, down 4.9 points from 12% in the same period of the previous year.It seems that the impact of the spread of the new corona infection is not small.
The survey extracted 21 students from 112 universities nationwide, including 6,250 national universities, junior colleges, colleges of technology, and vocational schools.

 According to the report, the job offer rate for university, junior college, and college of technology students was 80.6%, of which 62 universities and 4,770 students were offered a job offer rate of 82.2%.National and public universities decreased by 1.9 points to 87.8%, and private universities decreased by 5.9 points to 80.4%.By gender, male students decreased by 5.4 points to 80.4%, and female students decreased by 4.3 points to 84.3%.

 By liberal arts and science, liberal arts decreased by 5.6 points to 81.3%, and science decreased by 2.1 points to 86.0%.By region, the unofficial offer rate in the Hokkaido and Tohoku regions was the highest, recording 84.0%.

 The seller market has continued for several years due to the labor shortage caused by the declining birthrate.For this reason, although companies that have been suffering from hiring difficulties are actively recruiting, there are some places in the transportation, tourism, and food and beverage industries that have been hit directly by the impact of the new corona, to stop hiring or reduce the number of hires.

 With the government's state of emergency being reissued at the beginning of the year, some say that employment after graduating from 2022 will become much more difficult.
