Bo Clements: Pandemic during life after Graduation is very obviously tricky. Look at the unemployment rates. Millions of job positions are in a freeze. No jobs out there. A positive note that a student has a degree in American Sign Language with specialization in Interpretation Education & Training, Wireless Technology, or Development & Innovative of Social Media allows working from home to create thousands of online jobs - Teaching, Marketing, Engineering, Spectrum of Technology, and many more.
We cannot remove our masks, making it so difficult to communicate, as it's hard to read people's lips. That is the number 1 communication barrier for all of us. We cannot be close or touch each other in a public place, even at work, to communicate in person. That makes it so difficult to find jobs.

Dr. Margaretha Rudstrom: I am taking this from the perspective of an agribusiness major.
If a student isn't able to land a position within their field of study, I would suggest they work on their people skills and stay up to date with what is happening in the markets, ag policy, and agriculture. Staying up to date means following the popular press in the areas you have a career interest in. That could mean following the news from places like Drovers, local and national producer associations, or congressional or senate ag committees. This will help keep you up to date on what's happening in the areas you have an interest in or are looking for a career.
I seem to be harping on the people skills piece. Get experience in working with customers, customer service, customer complaints. These experiences will help you develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and communication skills sought after by employers.

Wallace Meyer: Yes, severalfold:
All reports od COVID will not be disappearing, so a COVID environment will impact graduates during at least the first 2-3 years post-graduation.
The virus has made immutable changes in our behavior, and it's highly unlikely that we'll return to pre-COVID lifestyles. From the mundane (no/fewer handshakes)to the economic (a majority of small businesses will have failed before allowed to reopen fully) to the demographic (population migrations from big cities to suburbs, exurbs, and even rural counties), to organizational (companies have discovered higher productivity rates of their employees working remotely than in the office) there will be significant and enduring shifts in our lifestyles.
Wallace Meyer: The technology sectors will continue to provide robust employment opportunities, followed by health care and education (a combination of health care worker attrition and demand, and for education retirement and the increasing likelihood of some form of government subsidy of higher education will increase the demand for teachers). Startups will also rebound strongly to fill the void of the thousands of lost small and medium-sized businesses.
Douglas Milbauer: Are you asking for a personal opinion here? The impact on graduates will be as "enduring" as each individual wants or allows it to be. I can relate to a story. I wash, dry, and reuse aluminum foil. My wife and children find this amusing. I do this because my mother did this (and still does this well into her 80's). My mother did this because her mother did this. And both my mother and her mother were products of the Great Depression. One can say that the Great Depression had a multi-generational impact. Will COVID have this same enduring impact? My guess is yes, it will. Will generations of people start washing and reusing aluminum foil? Not likely, but there will likely be other habits that will emerge - stocking up on paper products, perhaps? Keeping extra cash nearby? Paying attention to the type(s) of occupations one chooses or avoids? It will be an interesting phenomenon to observe over time.
