As in previous years, a single amount is applied to the next year's minimum wage regardless of the industry.
The Minimum Wage Committee held the 4th plenary meeting yesterday (16th) to discuss whether to apply the classification of the minimum wage by industry, and announced that the decision was made.
Although the current law stipulates that the minimum wage can be applied separately by industry, the same amount of minimum wage has been applied to all industries since 1989.
During his presidential election, President Yoon Seok-yeol promised to separate the minimum wage by industry, but at least next year, that will not happen.
