Employment problem:

First, the number of graduates increased year-on-year, and the employment situation was grim.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in February, at the end of 2022, there were 73.35110,000 employees nationwide, a decrease of about10.3 million compared with the previous year. Obviously, under the gloom of the past few years, the employment situation has become very serious!

Compared with the decrease of employment, the number of college graduates in China is increasing, with 8.74 million in 2020, 9.09 million in 202 1 year and 0.67 million in 202210.

Second, the number of applicants for public examinations has surged, and the competitive pressure is unprecedented.

Third, flexible employment.

When it comes to flexible employment, the first thing that comes to mind is starting a business or starting a business from the media, such as network anchor, network writer, editing at home, dubbing and so on. Even some professional investors.

However, such people also need a period of experience accumulation and growth. This process is bound to make their income insufficient to fill their stomachs. For college graduates without social experience and savings, most people are not necessarily suitable. There are very few high-quality freelancers like this, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe them as few.

The above data are from China.
