Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki and Minister of Strategy and Finance today (14th) said, "We will focus on providing 1.56 million jobs in the public sector."

Deputy Prime Minister Hong said today that he will prepare a countermeasure against the employment shock caused by the Corona 19 incident at the 3rd meeting of the Central Emergency Management Headquarters (Economic Major) held at the Seoul Government Complex.

He said, "Of the 945,000 direct jobs in the public sector based on the budget, we will convert as much as possible to face-to-face jobs and outdoor work for approximately 600,000 jobs, such as senior jobs and self-sufficiency work that have not been successfully promoted to Corona 19." He said, "We will resume as soon as possible, allowing for maximum flexibility in execution such as simplifying business procedures."

In addition, "100,000 non-face-to-face digital jobs in the public sector, 50,000 digital jobs in the private sector, 50,000 jobs in youth, 300,000 jobs in vulnerable groups, and 50,000 in small and medium-sized companies," We will create additional 550,000 jobs + α (alpha) for direct jobs such as people. ”

In addition, he explained that he plans to start hiring 48,000 people as soon as possible by resuming the hiring process of public officials and public institutions that had only been hired by 19,000 people by April due to postponement.

The government announced that it plans to finalize the emergency employment and job plans after discussing this week's and next week's economic meeting, and will reflect the necessary financial resources in the third supplementary budget.
