Both humanities and science students saw a decrease compared to the same month last year. The provisional offer acceptance rate for May among students graduating in 2027 was 76.4%, a decrease of 0.7 percentage points from the same month last year. It increased by a slight 5.5 percentage points from the previous month (70.9%). By field, the rate for humanities students was 73.2% (down 0.7 percentage points year-on-year), and for science students it was 81.3% (down 0.8 percentage points year-on-year), both slightly lower than the previous year [Figures 1, 2]. ◆ The percentage of students continuing their job search was 26.8%, a decrease of 0.9 percentage points from the same month last year.

The percentage of students continuing their job search while holding a provisional offer was 26.8%, a decrease of 0.9 percentage points from the same month last year. The job search continuation rate*1, including those without provisional offers, was 50.4% (down 0.2 percentage points year-on-year). By field, the rate for humanities students was 58.0% (down 1.1 percentage points year-on-year), and for science students it was 38.7% (up 1.5 percentage points year-on-year) [Figures 3, 4]. *1: Percentage of students continuing their job search while holding a provisional offer + Percentage of students without provisional offers. ◆ The proportion of students who "feel anxious" about job hunting increased from the previous year for both those with and without provisional offers. The average number of companies for which students plan to undergo future selection processes is 4.8, an increase of 0.7 companies year-on-year. When asked about anxiety regarding job hunting, 83.6% of university students graduating in 2027 who did not have a provisional offer reported feeling "anxious" (an increase of 5.4 percentage points year-on-year). Among students continuing their job search with a provisional offer, 63.3% (an increase of 0.1 percentage points year-on-year) responded that they "feel anxious." Furthermore, when asked about the average number of companies they plan to apply to, those continuing their job search indicated an average of 4.8 companies, an increase of 0.7 companies from the previous year. Those without provisional offers indicated an average of 7.0 companies, an increase of 1.6 companies from the previous year. With over 70% holding provisional offers, it is evident that students without offers are experiencing heightened anxiety and increasing their job hunting efforts [Figures 5, 6]. 【Survey Researcher Comments】 The provisional offer acceptance rate for students graduating in 2027 as of the end of May was 76.4%, remaining at a level comparable to the previous year. On the other hand, anxiety among students without provisional offers is intensifying, with visible expansion in job hunting activities such as increasing the number of companies applied to. In light of this situation, companies are urged to provide careful information to students while being mindful of their job hunting status. Furthermore, as career options expand, job hunting is also diversifying, and I believe students have anxieties corresponding to their individual situations. I hope they will make career choices they are satisfied with without rushing.
