As the job unrest continued due to the Corona 19 reproliferation, the number of employees employed last month dropped the most in six months. Along with service jobs like lodging and restaurants, employment in manufacturing was also hit hard. Reporter Oh In-seok about the report. The labor impact of the Corona 19 reproliferation is growing. Last month, the number of people employed fell by more than 420,000 compared to the same period last year, the biggest decline in six months. The fall in employment, which had stalled in July and August, expanded for the second month after September. The number of employees has declined for eight consecutive months since March, when the impact of the crown 19 began. Due to the decrease in departures, the in-person services business, the hospitality and restaurant businesses, were the ones that declined the most since 2014, and jobs in the wholesale and retail trade and education and service industries continued to suffer. In particular, the number of employees in manufacturing, such as car trailers and metal processing, where exports are large, fell by 98,000. On the other hand, the number of civil service and health welfare workers continued to increase due to the influence of the government funded employment program. The number of young employees has increased due to the slowness of the manufacturing, wholesale and retail businesses and a decrease in new hire. The number of employed people in their 30s, 40s and 50s decreased and the polarization of employment by age group continued, with those over 60 years of age. The unemployment rate rose to 3.7% last month, the highest since 2000 through October. The number of unemployed increased by 164,000 to 1,028,000, reaching 1 million in the second month. The government considered the current employment situation strict and announced that it will increase domestic demand and the vitality of exports and will quickly implement complementary projects so that the recent economic improvement leads to the recovery of employment.
