２３年大卒、企業の採用意欲回復　求人倍率、４年ぶり改善―リクルート

　リクルートワークス研究所が２６日発表した２０２３年３月卒業・修了予定の大学生と大学院生の求人倍率は１．５８倍で、前年より０．０８ポイント上昇した。改善は４年ぶり。新型コロナ前の水準には届かなかったが、人手不足もあり製造業など多くの業種で企業の採用意欲は回復傾向にある。
　大卒求人倍率は、民間企業への就職を希望する学生１人当たりの求人数を示す。業種別では、流通業が７．７７倍（０．３５ポイント低下）で倍率トップ。建設業も７．７０倍（１．３０ポイント上昇）と高水準で、深刻な人手不足が続いている。
　民間企業の求人総数は、４．５％増の７０万６９００人。全ての従業員規模で、前年を上回ったものの、３００人未満の企業の増加幅は０．５％にとどまった。コロナ禍やウクライナ情勢を懸念して採用に慎重な企業もあるとみられ、大企業や中堅企業との開きが出た。（2022/04/26-17:42）

The ratio of job openings to job seekers among university students graduating next spring rose 0.08 point from the previous year to 1.58, up for the first time in four years, a private survey showed Tuesday.
   Although the figure fell short of levels before the coronavirus pandemic, recruitment appetite is on a recovery trend among companies in many industries, including manufacturers, against a backdrop of labor shortages.
   The job availability ratio shows the number of job openings per student seeking jobs at private companies.
   By industry, the logistics industry posted the highest ratio, at 7.77, down 0.35 point, followed by the construction sector, at 7.70, up 1.30 points.
   The total number of available jobs at private companies rose 4.5 pct to 706,900. The number grew in all groups of companies by size. Still, it inched up by only 0.5 pct for small companies with less than 300 employees, as some of them are believed to be cautious about hiring due to concerns over the coronavirus crisis and the situation in Ukraine.
