May 31 (peoplematters.in) - More than two-thirds of graduates in Japan stay in their first job for more than three years, according to research by the Japanese Trade Union Confederation.

The survey ran from late February through early March 2022, and garnered responses from over 1,000 university graduates who were in their second to fifth year after beginning full-time employment.
