A Comparative Study of Employment Pressure Between American and Chinese College Students

Abstract

With the increase of global economic uncertainty, geopolitical conflicts and the increasingly fierce competition between China and the United States, the world economy is slowly falling into a recession, and one of the serious problems caused by it is the employment of college students. According to relevant statistics, for China, the current unemployment rate of college students has reached a record high, in the United States, due to the large number of prestigious schools, but the U.S. domestic real economy is not so strong employment absorption capacity, so the United States graduating college students face the same employment pressure should not be underestimated. This paper analyzes the employment pressure of college students in China and the United States through a combination of qualitative analysis and case study method, and forms targeted policy recommendations on the basis of the analysis. The research in this paper can provide some support to the current research on college students' employment.
