Then factor analysis was applied to classify the factors influencing the ideological and political education environment of colleges and universities and establish hypotheses. The structural equation modeling method was used to analyze the relationship between the factors influencing the ideological and political education environment in colleges and universities and the relationship between the factors influencing the education environment. The results show that 44.63% of the respondents think there is influence, 27.97% think there is greater influence, and 23.82% think there is an important influence. Therefore, it can be concluded that the severe employment environment has a significant influence on the effect of ideological and political education.
