This time we will talk about housekeeping.

Last year, we had a difficult year as exports, our economic support, declined, but how much better this year will be.

On the last day of December, the invisible people around us waited for the first car at 4,6411 am.

Over the past year, jobs have been unstable and life has been hard.

[Cleaning Worker: If you raise your wages, you cut people. Prices are expensive and pockets are thin, so… ]

The situation may be the most accurate for those who mainly clean urban buildings.

[Eaguinam / Seoul Guro-gu: (Busy) I kept going out. I'm moving because I don't have a good game.

The city streets are quite crowded.

[Moon Seung-il / President of Seoul Jung-gu Restaurant: (At the end of the year) I had a lot of meetings, but at the end of this year, no one team got that reservation.]

The business income of all households reflecting the self-employment economy fell 4.9% in the third quarter, the biggest decrease since the 2003 statistics.

Of course there is hope to see.

[Lee Jae-jung / Semiconductor Material Representative: By the end of the year, production has been gradually increasing, and we are also gradually increasing the supply.]

The government expects economic growth this year to be 2.4 percent more optimistic than other research institutions.

It is under the premise that the semiconductor economy is improving, the US-China trade dispute is settled, and more than 512 trillion won is effectively spent.

But it's still below the potential growth rate, and there are many internal variables.

In particular, this year's full-fledged retirement of baby boomers will reduce the age of production by more than 230,000, more than four times last year.

[Sung-Tae Kim / Economic Development Division, Korea Development Institute: The growth rate of household debt against the increase in income is so high that the momentum is weak, which is very weak in the growth rate rebound by consumption.]

That is why private consumption, which rose 1.9% last year, is expected to increase by around 2% this year.

If only the rebound in certain industries, such as low-employment-induced effects, does not improve the economic conditions of the 40's, or if the pace of reducing income inequality through jobs and welfare is not fast enough, this year will be enough for people to feel skin. It's hard to expect a better economy.
