I heard that the Swiss market will be very very accommodating to German candidates.
Yes, but people based in the U.S. won't be able to reach Europe this year

As of mid-June, Mr. Lydon said, about 1,800 of the 5,100 admitted freshmen—for a fall class of 850—hadn’t alerted the school to their decisions, an unusually high number so late in the year. The university campus will reopen this fall, he said, but freshman enrollment may fail expectations—among other unexpected factors dropping on the school this year, he said: “There are about 37 dominoes that have fallen already.”
Schools were already losing leverage. College and university enrollment was down 5% in the 2019-20 year from a peak of about 21 million in 2011, Education Department estimates show, because of demographics and competition from a strong labor market. And students often have more choices: Those applying to at least three colleges rose to 82% in 2016 from 61% in 1995, according to the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
Guys you should not be too optimistic nor to pessimistic. The market is going to be 20-30% of a usual market, which implies that the greatest majority of people won't be able to find a job but some will. Of course supply will determine the outcome, but that's hard to judge now.
Many of HRM will hire as usual. What some of us do is to make the offer and ask them to start in 2022. In the meantime, we offer them one year VAP position (the purpose is similar to extending the tenure clock) or ask them to get a VAP/postdoc somewhere else
JMC of 2022 will be screwed I believe
This did not age well. The market is beyond awful

Yes, I think it's worse than what I could have predicted in May. By now we are down about 80% compared to last year
Finance market is alright. Rice, HKU, CUHK, MIT, and Haas hiring.Alright?? That's 5 positions in the whole world. By this time last year there were hundreds of positions at CUHK or above level
The fact that he considers HKU and CUHK as good placements already tells me a lot about this market.
