Why is it so difficult to find a job this year?

This year's employment difficulties are mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, and many industries and enterprises have been affected to varying degrees.

1. Economic recession: In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, the global economy has been greatly impacted. Many companies have laid off employees or delayed recruitment. Coupled with the uncertainty of epidemic control and economic recovery, enterprises are worried about future investment and expansion plans, which brings challenges to employment.

2. The competition in the talent market is becoming increasingly fierce: due to the impact of the epidemic and the massive wave of unemployment, the competition in the market has become more intense. Even before the outbreak, there was an imbalance between supply and demand in many industries. This year, the recruitment standards of enterprises are higher, and the competition between some occupations is more intense.

3. Job hunting methods are restricted: many job fairs are suspended or cancelled due to the epidemic, and many enterprises also adopt online recruitment methods, which limits the information acquisition and communication of job seekers.

4. The employment opportunities have dropped sharply: affected by the epidemic, some service industries and tourism industries are facing a serious recession, resulting in the reduction of many employment opportunities. At the same time, many enterprises are also reducing their budgets and controlling the number of recruits and salaries, which also brings certain difficulties to graduates in finding jobs.

In short, this year's employment difficulties are mainly due to the economic, social and market uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, which further tightens the job market.
