The results showed that the overall demand for careers in the hospitality and tourism industry of people entering the labor market after the COVID-19 was at a high level of demand ( = 4.48, SD = 0.140). Moreover, considering each aspect in descending order, it was found that the aspect with the highest mean was the job security and life ( = 4.62, SD = 0.393), followed by the work environment ( = 4.50, SD = 0.204).
