Impact of New Coronavirus Dismissal and Suspension Over 2 Months Over 1000 People March 31 14:49
With the spread of the new coronavirus, the number of people who have been dismissed due to the worsening of the management of their workplace or stopped working has risen to more than 1,000 people nationwide in the past two months mainly in the tourism industry and the accommodation industry. A survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare revealed.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare interviewed the executives of companies who visited the Labor Bureau nationwide to find out how the spread of the new coronavirus affected the employment situation.
According to the report, between the end of January and the 30th of this month, 1021 people across the country, including prospects, were fired or suspended due to the worsening business due to the spread of infection. That is.
The number is particularly large in the tourism and accommodation sectors, as the number of foreign tourists has dropped sharply.
In addition to the dismissal and suspension of employment, some 3,825 companies said they had made employment adjustments, such as taking some workers off, or were considering making adjustments in the future. In addition to the accommodation business, employment adjustment is conspicuous in the food and beverage industry due to the self-restraint of going out.
On a regional basis, the impact is particularly large in Chiba Prefecture, where demand for foreign tourists using Narita Airport has dropped sharply, and in Osaka, where infection has spread rapidly from live houses.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, "the negative effects on the employment situation are widespread, and we want to help the nation avoid dismissals and suspension of work."
