大多數(shù)2020屆畢業(yè)生都沒有正式的畢業(yè)典禮,就業(yè)市場不穩(wěn)定,而且,如果幸運的話,在封城期間,他們的家庭生活也會變得很緊張。兩年前,對于大學(xué)畢業(yè)生來說,畢業(yè)后的生活是緩慢而艱難的,只有一半的人在獲得文憑六個月后找到了傳統(tǒng)的全職工作。
但此后,對于那些剛剛開始職業(yè)生涯的人來說,就業(yè)市場已經(jīng)反彈。領(lǐng)英(LinkedIn)首席經(jīng)濟學(xué)家卡琳·金布羅(Karin Kimbrough)在美國有線電視新聞網(wǎng)(CNN)的一篇文章中寫道,與年齡稍大的同齡人相比,Z世代畢業(yè)生步入了更積極的職場。

根據(jù)領(lǐng)英最近的一份報告,金布羅將初級職位的增長歸因于四大因素:從2020年到2021年,招聘率增長25%;負(fù)擔(dān)得起的陽光地帶地區(qū)(陽光地帶地區(qū)指的是美國從佛羅里達(dá)州到加利福尼亞州的南部和西南部地區(qū))為年輕工人提供了更多工作機會;酒店和醫(yī)療保健等受到疫情重創(chuàng)的行業(yè)的就業(yè)增長出現(xiàn)反彈;以及急需的工作技能的演變。
盡管冒著讓2022屆畢業(yè)生倒霉的風(fēng)險,但對于那些希望獲得初級職位的人來說,就業(yè)市場形勢一片大好。他們的就業(yè)情況比年齡較大的千禧一代要好得多,千禧一代在大蕭條時期畢業(yè),進(jìn)入慘淡的就業(yè)市場,職業(yè)軌跡、人生重要的里程碑時期都推遲了,這也影響了他們積累財富的能力。當(dāng)Z世代進(jìn)入勞動力市場時,他們是按照自己的方式工作的。
強勁的勞動力市場引發(fā)了Z世代跳槽
領(lǐng)英描繪的樂觀前景解釋了為什么Z世代正在引領(lǐng)“大辭職潮”。根據(jù)人才招聘平臺Lever最近的一份報告,約65%的Z世代員工計劃在不到一年的時間內(nèi)離職,而在所有員工中,這一比例為40%。許多年輕員工發(fā)現(xiàn),跳槽能夠漲工資,使他們更容易償還學(xué)生貸款,并更好地負(fù)擔(dān)如今高漲的生活成本。
意識到“大辭職潮”時期對人才的新需求,他們有時可以變得更加挑剔和苛刻。這為這一代人贏得了直接要求工作與生活的靈活性、更好的福利待遇和更合適的工作文化的名聲。
雖然預(yù)期一些Z世代員工可能會對就業(yè)市場感到緊張,因為他們聽前輩講過他們曾遭遇的慘淡的就業(yè)市場,但2022屆畢業(yè)生在選擇新工作時表現(xiàn)出了自主選擇權(quán)。
21歲的達(dá)科塔·詹妮弗 (Dakotah Jennifer) 在5月份告訴《財富》雜志:“作為學(xué)生,我們已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷了這么多,作為員工,我們現(xiàn)在也不準(zhǔn)備定下來。”
盡管有經(jīng)濟衰退的警告,但就業(yè)市場還沒有沖擊到2022屆畢業(yè)生(但愿如此)。如果你聽取了金布羅的建議,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)對于初級員工來說,可能是時候趁熱打鐵好好找工作了。(財富中文網(wǎng))

Most of the class of 2020 left college with no official graduation, an uncertain job market, and, if they were lucky, tense family walks during the lockdown. Post-grad life proved slow and difficult for college grads just two years ago, with only half of them holding traditional full-time jobs six months after receiving their diplomas.
But the job market has since bounced back for those kicking off their careers. In a piece for CNN, LinkedIn chief economist Karin Kimbrough wrote that Gen Z graduates have entered a more positive workforce than their slightly older peers.
"Fast-forward two years, and the picture looks much brighter for Gen Z and younger millennials joining the workforce today,” says Kimbrough. “Despite recent headwinds like inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions driving economic uncertainty, opportunities still abound for entry-level roles in the US."
Pulling from a recent LinkedIn report, Kimbrough attributes the entry-level job upswing to four factors: a 25% increase in hiring rates from 2020 to 2021; more roles for young workers in the more affordable Sunbelt region; rebounding job growth in industries hit hard by the pandemic, like hospitality and health care; and the evolution of in-demand job skills.
At the risk of jinxing the class of 2022, it’s a rosy picture for those looking to land an entry-level position. They’re faring much better than older millennials who graduated during the Great Recession and entered a bleak job market that delayed their career trajectories, life milestones, and ability to accumulate wealth. When Gen Z workers enter the workforce, they're doing so on their own terms.
A robust labor market has Gen Z job-hopping
LinkedIn’s optimistic outlook explains why Gen Zers are helping to lead the Great Resignation. About 65% of Gen Z workers plan on leaving their jobs in less than a year, compared to 40% of all employees, per a recent report from talent acquisition platform Lever. Many young employees have found that job-hopping leads to pay bumps, making it easier for them to pay student loans and afford today’s inflated cost of living.
Aware of the newfound demand for talent during the Great Resignation, they can sometimes afford to be more selective and demanding. This has earned the generation a reputation for directly asking for work-life flexibility, better benefits, and a more fitting work culture.
While some prospective Gen Z employees might be nervous about the market, having heard horror stories from older classes that dealt with a different beast, the class of 2022 speaks with a sense of empowerment when it comes to selecting new jobs.
“We’ve gone through so much as students, and we’re not going to settle now, as employees,” Dakotah Jennifer, 21, told Fortune in May.
Despite warnings of a recession, the job market has yet to hit the class of 2022 (knock on wood). And if you look at Kimbrough’s advice, it might be time to strike while the iron is hot for entry-level workers.
