The earliest a student entering this fall would go on coop is January, 2022, the spring semester of sophomore year. So at this point the job market at that time is anyone’s guess.

During the Great Recsssion of 2008-2009 some employers cancelled coops while others increased coop hiring. The reason being that a coop position is for 6 months and the company is not making a long term commitment like they are when hiring a career employee.
