COVID-19: Job openings in tech, e-commerce sectors rise 25%By Wu Po-hsuan / Staff reporterThere has been a 25 percent increase in job openings in the technology and e-commerce industries over the past two years, while travel-related industries have seen a decline in vacancies of about 30 percent, a representative from job bank yes123 said yesterday. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, there appears to have been a shift in the jobs available for recent graduates, the job bank said. Accordingly, there have been fewer job opportunities, he added. Estimates show that during the COVID-19 pandemic, opportunities in the e-commerce and technology industries have grown by 25 percent, while the number of openings in businesses such as airlines and hotels have fallen by 30 percent, he said. Yang said he believes that recent graduates with STEM degrees still possess an advantage over those with liberal arts degrees.
