President Moon declared 'New Deal in Korea'.

Today (22th), the 5th emergency economic meeting held in Cheong Wa Dae discussed the special measures according to the crisis of the key industries and the impact of employment.

President Moon said, "I will prevent the collapse of the key industries that greatly affect our economy and employment."

Next, he commented on job creation and stability, and said, "We will pay 500,000 won of emergency employment security assistance to freelancers, special workers, and small businesses in the blind spot over three months."

He also revealed his commitment to direct job creation. "The government will directly provide 500,000 jobs to the people," he said, highlighting the normalization of the current job shortage.

In particular, he said, "We need to boldly pursue large-scale projects at the national level. We will not only create jobs, but also prepare for innovation growth in the post-corona era."
