Why is the employment pressure of college students increasing?

Under the epidemic, employment pressure has increased. Nowadays, in the overall environment of our country, there is an objective phenomenon of high employment pressure for college graduates, which must be faced and taken seriously. "Almost hundreds or thousands of people compete for a position, because not only fresh graduates, but also past graduates and people with work experience are in great need of jobs, so the competition pressure is very high." Huang Xiaoying said one of the main reasons . Huang Xiaoying, a master's degree graduate from the School of Journalism and Communication of Nanning Normal University, told reporters that more than 800 people competed for a position recruited by Guangxi TV Station. "Affected by the epidemic, companies have seen a large number of layoffs, salary cuts, and employees being laid off. Whether they are experienced unemployed people or college graduates who have just entered the workplace, the number of people waiting for employment has increased, making it more difficult to find a job. "Wei Yun, a grade 18 graduate of Nanning Normal University, told reporters.

Lai Desheng, deputy director of the Social and Ecological Civilization Teaching and Research Department of the Central Party School, said when analyzing the current employment difficulties for graduates: "The epidemic has made it more difficult for students to practice and find jobs. Some graduates have been unable to return to school. Given the Employment guidance and employment services have brought difficulties. From the demand side, the recruitment work of some enterprises has been delayed or at a standstill, especially small, medium and micro enterprises. Under the triple pressure of "demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations", recruitment has Insufficient motivation and ability." Overall, "employment difficulties" and "recruitment difficulties" coexist, making the task of promoting the employment of college graduates more arduous and arduous. Educational qualifications depreciate and involution intensifies. Nowadays, more and more people want to improve their employment competitiveness by improving their academic qualifications. According to information released by the Ministry of Education, the number of applicants for the 2022 National Master's Degree Admissions Examination nationwide is 4.57 million, an increase of 800,000 from the previous year, an increase of 21. However, with the popularization of higher education and the craze for postgraduate entrance examinations, academic qualifications have experienced a relative depreciation. Graduate Wei Yun has her own opinion on whether she chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination because of excessive employment pressure. In her view, the higher the academic qualifications, the easier it is to find a job, which itself is an uncertain factor. She believes: "With the expansion of postgraduate enrollment and doctoral enrollment, the number of people we used to think of as highly educated is gradually expanding. On the one hand, it has given young students a platform to advance their studies, and on the other hand, it is undeniable that it has also brought Some people question whether academic qualifications are depreciating. "The seventh national census shows that in terms of educated population, there are 218 million people in my country with a college degree, accounting for 1.55%, which means that one in every seven people. A college student. As the number of graduates increases, the recruitment threshold is also rising.

Graduates are therefore faced with selection by various employers. Therefore, people with stronger abilities are more competitive in employment. "I want to know everything, but I only give me a salary of more than 3,000 yuan." "Three thousand yuan can't hire migrant workers, but it can hire college students." Weibo netizens complained, which perfectly shows that people are currently in a The era of crazy involution. Employment expectations are inconsistent with reality. At present, a survey conducted by the China Youth Daily Social Survey Center and the Questionnaire Network on 2007 fresh graduates showed that when it comes to future work, 69.5% of the surveyed fresh graduates have higher expectations for their development prospects. During the interview, the reporter also found that several graduates said they had not found a suitable job, not that they had not found a job.

“Either I feel that my abilities are insufficient, or my salary does not meet expectations, or I am far away from home.” This is the reason why Yuan Tianran, a grade 18 graduate of our school, thinks that he has not found a job yet. "Some people have no work to do, and there are jobs to do but no one can do it" is actually a structural contradiction. From the perspective of individual job seekers, some people pursue "stable and decent" jobs too much, have too high expectations, or have high ambitions and low abilities, making it more difficult to solve this problem. The employment difficulties of college students in my country are mostly manifested as structural contradictions rather than total shortages. The essence is a mismatch between supply and demand. Zeng Xiangquan, director of the China Employment Research Institute at Renmin University of China, made an in-depth analysis of the current employment situation.
