In August, following the reproliferation of Corona 19 in the metropolitan area, including Seoul, the number of people employed last month was close to 400,000. In particular, it was found that young people were greatly affected by the so-called “face-to-face service” industry such as accommodation and restaurants. Reporter Kim Tae-min’s report. The reproliferation of Corona 19 has once again hit the vulnerable group, which was already suffering. According to the employment trend published by the National Statistics Office last month, the total number of employees was 27 million, which was significantly reduced by almost 400,000 from the same period last year, continuing a decline for 7 consecutive months . The decline in the number of employed persons, which has decreased gradually since last May, has increased again in four months. The number of employed persons in the accommodation / restaurant business decreased by 225,000 and the wholesale and retail business decreased by 207,000, which affected the service sector. The number of employees by age group increased by more than 60 years, while the number of employees in their thirties decreased by 284,000 and that of 20 years decreased by 198,000. Among them, the number of unemployed who were able to work but could not find work reached 1 million, and the number of inactive people who said they took a break without looking for work reached 2.43 million. Since employment has deteriorated significantly, especially among the vulnerable, the government has also taken an emergency response. It is an assessment that the worst situation has passed since the rate of spread of the crown has slowed this month. However, as the accumulated damage so far is considerable, it will take considerable time to regain the pre-crisis level. Accordingly, the plan is to compensate as much as possible for the reduction in jobs through active financial support and policies to revitalize domestic demand. YTN Taemin Kim[[email protected]]is.
