Is the employment environment really difficult this year?

How to digest the increasing number of graduates is a difficult problem. For graduates, they all hope to find their favorite jobs. However, in the face of the imbalance between the number of jobs and the number of employed people, it is a fact that it is difficult to find employment this time.

1. The economic environment affects employment:

After experiencing the epidemic from 2020 to 2022, the economic growth rate has slowed down, both internationally and domestically. This is very It has a great impact on the overall situation of China's economy.

Under the premise of unfavorable forecasts for the future market environment, many companies have adopted the "tail-cutting" method to survive in order to survive, that is, using layoffs to reduce cost pressure and reduce school recruitment quotas. This year, various major Internet companies have frequently reported news of layoffs. In the past, the lively scene of campus recruitment at major Internet companies will be difficult to see this year. After all, in a bad economic environment, the first priority of a company is to survive.

In addition, society has increasingly higher academic requirements for graduates. When the number of job applications for fresh graduates is far greater than the number of recruitments, companies will raise the bar, such as raising academic requirements and school requirements, to select suitable candidates.

2. Due to the epidemic control, interviews have been blocked and the job search cycle has been extended:

The haze of this year’s new crown epidemic and the uncertainty of employment demand in the job market have combined with multiple factors. Under the influence of the epidemic, the situation of this year's employment season is particularly severe.

For many graduates, the recent epidemic has caused school closures, cancellation of offline recruitment, obstruction of cross-regional internship interviews, and postponement of civil service and public institution examinations, etc., which have also completely disrupted the pace of job hunting. , making the original employment plan delayed again and again, making it even more difficult.

3. Judging from the college entrance examination situation in the past ten years, the number of college graduates will show a linear upward trend in the future:

According to the number of college entrance examinations and admissions in recent years, the number of college entrance examinations has increased. At more than 9 million, the number of admissions has basically increased every year. Since the number of college entrance examination students exceeded the 10 million mark in 2019, the number of college entrance examination applicants in recent years has been more than 10 million.

At the same time, the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination in 2022 has reached a record high of 4.57 million, while the planned enrollment is only about 1.1 million. This means that more than 3 million candidates will either compete again next year or look for job opportunities.

As one of the employment directions of civil servants, the number of applicants for the National Civil Service Examination in 2022 exceeded 2.02 million, which is also a historical record. However, there are only 16,745 positions and 31,242 people will be recruited. Even if the enrollment is expanded by 21.4%, The average competition ratio also exceeds 60:1, and the competition ratio for the hottest positions exceeds 20,000:1. Not only that, more and more 211/985 graduates choose to take postgraduate entrance examinations and civil servants. It has to be said that the current employment situation is really serious.

Suddenly I remembered a joke on the Internet: "985 for academic qualifications, 996 for work, 251 for resignation, and 404 for complaints." The current employment environment is indeed difficult, but no matter what, you still need to be hardworking. For students with excellent abilities, In fact, it is still a hot spot in the job market.
