The proportion of non-regular workers working during commuting time was higher than that of regular workers, with 25% of non-regular workers and 17.3% of regular workers.

Others wonder how long it takes to commute.

17.6% of respondents said that it takes more than an hour, and by region, Incheon and Gyeonggi-do residents accounted for the most at 29.1%, and 22.1% of office workers living in Seoul answered that it takes more than an hour to commute.

Commuting time from 30 minutes to less than an hour was the highest at 42.2%, and most office workers living in the metropolitan area fell into this category.

According to the Labor Standards Act, tardiness, early leave, and absenteeism are, in principle, deducted from the paycheck for the hours.

It is pointed out that although working hours must be adhered to according to the employment contract, a more flexible commuting time is needed.

About two out of three office workers said they needed compensation or consideration for commuting time.

Looking at the age group, those in their 30s, who are also the MZ generation, accounted for more than 71%, more than those in their 50s.

Production workers felt the need for compensation or consideration more than office workers, and general employees more than managers.

According to the Korea Real Estate Agency, apartment prices in Seoul fell by 0.08% last week, which is the largest drop since the first week of April 2019.

Apartment prices in Seoul have been falling for the 11th week after turning to minus 0.01% in the fifth week of May, and the decline is also increasing.

By region, Nowon-gu had the largest share with 0.2%.

Dobong, Seongbuk, and Jongdo recorded declines of 0.1%.

Seocho-gu, which was the only district to record an increase among the 25 districts, also remained flat for the second week.

There are many predictions that interest rates will continue to rise in the future and house prices will continue to fall until the end of the year.

Apartment transaction volume was also at an all-time low, with only 516 apartment purchase reports in July.

The 2.5 million households plus alpha housing supply plan, which was delayed due to heavy rain last week, is scheduled to come out tomorrow, but if the supply increases, the pressure on house prices is expected to increase.

After rising to 19.8 million won in the first half of last year, it broke through the 20 million won level to 22.3 million won in the second half.

It was the highest point in the first half of this year.

They have been raising interest rates since August last year.

In particular, even though house prices are falling, shopping mall prices continue to rise, which has a huge impact on the endemic.

As the distances were almost lifted, the risk of emptiness in shopping malls decreased, and demand increased, which led to a rise in prices.
