Vice Ministers' Meeting for Employment Support Launched New Corona Due to increased unemployment and job hunting 5:01 on June 14

In order to support those who are unemployed due to the influence of the new coronavirus or students who are currently in job hunting, the government will launch a meeting of deputy ministers of relevant ministries to support employment in industries where recruiting is increasing, such as IT and distribution. We will proceed with initiatives.

As the number of unemployed people has increased due to the spread of the new coronavirus and the job hunting activities of students are being affected, the government announced on the 16th that the Cabinet Office, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, etc. Will be established by the Deputy Minister.

At the conference, we will refer to the employment support that has already been done in various places and promote efforts to support employment in industries where the number of job offers is increasing, and call on economic groups to hire new graduates from a long-term perspective. I plan to consider such things.

Nishimura Minister for Economic Recovery said, "I would like to focus on accelerating actions such as developing good practices horizontally. While there are difficult industries, there are also industries that are increasing the number of jobs such as IT, supermarkets, and logistics-related jobs. I would like to proceed with specific efforts."
