大卒内定率、４年ぶり低下　売り手市場で就職先決めきれず―１０月

　厚生労働省と文部科学省は１５日、２０２５年３月に卒業予定の大学生の就職内定率が１０月１日時点で７２．９％と、前年同時点から１．９ポイント低下したと発表した。低下は４年ぶり。売り手市場で、複数企業から内定を得た学生が就職先を決めきれずにいるとみられる。
　男女別では、男子が７１．５％（前年同時点は７３．９％）、女子は７４．５％（７５．８％）でいずれも前年を下回った。ただ、売り手市場が続いているため、最終的な内定率は「低くない結果になる」（厚労省）とみられる。
　学部別で文系は７２．８％（７５．０％）、理系は７３．１％（７３．７％）と、それぞれ低下した。（2024/11/15-14:15）

The share of university students set to graduate in Japan next spring with job offers declined for the first time in four years, the labor and education ministries said Friday.
   As of Oct. 1, 72.9 pct of job-hunting students had received job offers, down 1.9 percentage points from a year before, according to a joint survey by the ministries.
   In a seller's market situation, many students received multiple tentative offers. Such students appear to be taking time to consider which company to join, resulting in the drop.
   The share of male students with job offers decreased to 71.5 pct from 73.9 pct, and that of female students to 74.5 pct from 75.8 pct.
   Still, a labor ministry official said that the final figures "will not be low" because the favorable situation is expected to continue.
