How has Covid and the current economic environment impacted the job market for people leaving university and joining the supply chain industry. I know that during the height of covid there was large shortages of goods.

Still lots of entry level supply chain jobs out there

I think it impacted the job market for a few months. I could say that most companies have already recovered. Some are still recovering.

I agree with S1. We cannot deny the fact that covid has impacted the job market. But there are still a lot of in-demand roles out there.

COVID came down hard on global supply chain in general. However, as long as the jobs do not require operational input, you should be good.

Currently, it isn't easy. Supply chain, labor, and political disruptions have wreaked havoc on many sectors, and substitutions aren't always possible. Entry-level jobs are still available. And since most are nothing more than shuffling paper, running reports, and verifying info, they are safer if you pay attention to detail.

Great question. I think the industry is not starting to get back on its feet. A lot of entry-level jobs are still available.

Well, you are not wrong. the effect of COVID is worldwide. And this is also true when it comes to job opportunities and business.

I think it affected the market for a year. And it took a couple of months before businesses could recover.

I think there's nothing to worry about. You can still find a job despite the market's current situation. Just keep on searching, OP. Good luck!

Yes. The effects are apparent. This will make the competition even stronger.
