Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic affects different business sectors and the tourism industry has no exception from this. As the world is still affected by the pandemic, tourism management graduates’ employment is affected as the tourism industry lay off employees every now and then. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of COVID-19 to the employment of BS tourism management graduates. With the use of a random selection of samples, the researchers gathered data from 50 BS tourism management graduates of the academic year 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 examined in the descriptive-correlational study. The findings indicate what factors mostly affect the employment of graduate students during the time of the pandemic. On the other hand, the pandemic does not limit the capabilities of these graduates and is not a reason for companies to close their doors for these graduates’ despite of the left-and-right unemployment. The pandemic has caused great uncertainty on their employment as they worry about their job security. The pandemic affects the monthly wages of the employees in the tourism sector as it caused to an income loss, and it led to financial instability for employees. Moreover, strengthening one’s mental health is one of the keyways for the students to continue seeking jobs and to work.
