The corona pandemic and the resulting economic fallout are hurting the chances of many university graduates in Germany to find decent, well-paid jobs.
More than 40 percent of those surveyed believe their career prospects have deteriorated in the past few months, according to a recent survey of students by consulting firm EY. Almost a quarter have reacted to the current crisis by changing their plans. Many plan to extend their study time, change their field of activity, or even decide to give up self-employment.
However, three quarters of the respondents – 79 percent, are still satisfied or even very satisfied with the current situation. Experts report that compared to the previous survey in 2018, there is a noticeable decrease in young professionals confident in their future, graduates of universities in Germany.
