In the wake of Corona 19’s re-proliferation, the number of employees in the food and lodging industry decreased last month by 165,000 compared to the same period last year. More than 240,000 jobs with regular employment disappeared, showing the largest decline after the statistics were prepared.
According to the results of the September active population survey published by the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 29th, the total number of workers in companies with one or more domestic workers on the last working day of last month was 18,576,000, 112,000 (0 , 6%) less than in the same month last year.
The number of monthly commercial workers declined more than 365,000 in April, when the Corona 19 incident started in earnest and then declined. Since then, the number of people decreased by 90,000 in August, but the decline increased again last month. It is interpreted as the sequel to the reproliferation of Corona 19 due to the urban rally in August. As social distancing strengthened, occupations related to face-to-face services were struggling.
In particular, the number of accommodation and food service workers focused on face-to-face services fell dramatically by 165,000 (12.9%). Business facilities management, including travel, and wholesale and retail businesses also decreased by 65,000 (5.6%) and 56,000 (2.4%), respectively. The educational services industry also lost 41,000 (2.6%) jobs.
Regular jobs were directly affected by declining jobs in the lodging, food and beverage, and educational services industries. It decreased a total of 241,000 (1.5%) contract workers who had a contract term of more than one year or who worked for a year or more in a workplace. This is the largest decrease since the corresponding statistics were prepared in June 2009. On the other hand, the number of temporary and daily jobs increased by 181,000 (10.1%).
The increase in the number of temporary and daily workers is not unrelated to the increase in the number of civil service workers, including participants in the government employment project. The number of public administration workers increased by 962,000 (25.9%) compared to last year, showing the greatest increase. It appears that the job shortage caused by the reproliferation of Corona 19 is being alleviated by the government employment program.
Kwon Ki-seop, head of the Employment Policy Division of the Ministry of Labor, explained at the briefing that the decline in regular workers occurred mainly in the accommodation, food and beverage industry and the educational services industry. “It’s hard to say that restructuring (including manufacturing) has expanded.” In today’s manufacturing industry, 70,000 (1.9%) jobs disappeared compared to the previous year, but the decline was less than the previous year (2.1).
An Employment Ministry official said that “September labor market trends were significantly affected by the reproliferation of Corona 19 and the strengthening of social distancing, similar to the statistics from the employment administration and the economically active population surveys announced. previously”. In the fourth quarter, we also carefully expect to improve the employment index. ”
