Job choice decisions literature suggests that demographic characteristics can impact individual's employment preferences, but little is known about what the current generation of college students (i.e., Generation Z) seek in a job. This study focuses on what job attributes Gen Z college students sought in employment during the pandemic. Additionally, the study explores job attributes minoritized Gen Z college students seek or avoid in employment. The findings of an online survey among 393 graduating college students suggest race and gender affect job preferences.

Moreover, the qualitative data analysis revealed four themes regarding qualities minoritized graduates seek and two themes regarding deal breakers for minoritized graduates.
