“…Optimized Implementation of EPI System. EPI can not only objectively and truly reflect the present situation and trend of employment but also fully show the macroeconomic situation, the relationship between labor supply and demand, and the implementation effect of employment policy [18]. Because the labor transferred from the primary and secondary industries cannot meet the demand of talents in the tertiary industry from skills, knowledge, and other aspects, resulting in the friction of the structure of labor supply and demand, there may be a situation that the supply of labor in the primary and secondary industries exceeds demand, while the supply of labor in the tertiary industry is in short supply.…”

The employment of university graduates has always been a matter of great concern to educational administrative departments and governments at all levels. EPI (employment prosperity index) is a weather vane that reflects the situation of the labor market, and it is also an important reference for the national economic situation. This paper constructs college students’ EPI from different aspects, such as employment environment, employability, employment status, and public service, focuses on the calculation method of college students’ EPI, and obtains the general formula for calculating college students’ EPI. Based on the data obtained from a university, the EPI system is optimized by using MLM (multinomial logit model). Through empirical research, it is found that EPI, which is optimized by the system, has the function of evaluating the employment environment of college students, which not only provides macroemployment policies for the government but also provides scientific and effective employment service policies for universities.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated college students' mental health risk factors and other health concerns jeopardizing students' academic success. International students, in particular, may have incurred additional burdens stemming from their vulnerability due to many unique challenges pertaining to living abroad, adjusting to the host country's culture and norms, language barriers, visa policies, discrimination, prejudice, and being away from essential social support systems, such as family and friends (Essau & Trommsdorff, 2016;Heng, 2018;Poyrazli & Lopez, 2007;Smith & Khawaja, 2011;Taliaferro et al, 2018;Zhai et al, 2021). Compared to 2019, the prevalence of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder were 2 times and 1.5 times higher, respectively, among international students during the pandemic .…”

Research suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has deeply impacted college students. However, very few studies have attended to the specific plight of international students . The purpose of this study was to document challenges international students may have encountered while studying in the United States during the pandemic. Focus groups (N = 4; 13 students total) were conducted with students who were ≥ 18 years of age, enrolled at least part-time, on an F1 visa, and non-resident alien, who did not have parents/guardians living in the United States and were able to read and write in English. Focus groups lasted 1.5-2 h in duration and followed a standardized script. These sessions were audio-recorded and professionally transcribed. Two researchers performed qualitative content analysis. Six themes emerged from the analysis and included residency challenges, lifestyle changes, coping, negative affect, social support, and university structure. It appears that the challenges associated with residency and lifestyle directly impacted students' negative affect. However, the remaining themes moderated this relationship. These findings highlight the role universities can play in providing relief to international students during these challenging times and suggest areas for improving their experiences.
