The purpose of the work is to analyze the state and structure of the labor market using the example of the category of young professionals, to identify the main trends that have formed in recent years, after the end of the pandemic and with the beginning of a special military operation, to assess how the labor attitudes of employees have changed. Research methods: secondary analysis of the results of sociological research conducted by various research centers and recruiting agencies on remote employment, changing employee behavioral attitudes and changes in the labor market and employment. The article reveals some characteristic changes in the structure of the labor market and employment due to the transition to remote employment as part of quarantine measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, generational change, as well as the reassessment of their rights and freedoms by employees of organizations. The interrelation of the growing interest in remote employment of the younger generation under the age of 25 has been revealed for a number of interrelated reasons: Internet and information technology, remote employment, stability in life and great dependence on parents, a growing standard of living and the associated increase in self-esteem. Demographic problems and, as a result, a shortage of labor, partly related to the withdrawal of a huge proportion of the able-bodied population to the defense sector, the lack of competitive salaries leads to the fact that employers will have to adapt to new realities and rebuild their thinking, including for the younger generation, in order to fill the personnel deficit. The transition to hybrid work formats using remote employment allows us to solve both the problems of personnel shortage and to interest young workers who prefer remote employment and free working to other methods of non-material incentives.
