Amid a lingering labor shortage at Japanese companies, the job-hunting season for university students due to graduate next spring began Tuesday, with company information sessions being held nationwide.
Experts said that as many companies are showing a willingness to hire, students will benefit from what is presently a seller's market.
Government data released early Tuesday showed Japan's job availability improved to 1.28 in January, hitting its highest level since December 1991 following December 2015 when the rate was 1.27.
