China News Service, June 23, according to the Japanese "Chinese Herald" report, affected by the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the employment situation in Japan is not optimistic. The April Labor Force Survey released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications recently revealed that the total unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted value) was 2.6%, the highest level in Japan since December 2017. Recently, Chinese people in Japan have been proliferated by "fired" or "unemployed" cases, and some of them are in trouble.

  Mr. An, an "old driver" of the sightseeing bus, has worked in the car for 6 years. He joined a Chinese capital tourist bus company in 2018. During the outbreak, the number of Chinese tourists dropped sharply, and Mr. An was fired by the company.

  Mr. An said that he was more sacked by the company because of the epidemic situation, but he understands it well, but he still owes wages after his suspension, which is really unreasonable.

  It is understood that the bus company owed a total of 600,000 yen to Mr. An’s salary and travel expenses. Although Mr. An issued a salary urging letter to the company, it was ignored by the company.

  So Mr. An reported the situation to the Japan Labor Standards Supervision Office, but there was no substantial progress.

  Earlier, the reporter also asked a Chinese living in the Kinki region about the local employment situation. The Chinese also said that a large number of Chinese have lost their jobs in Osaka and the surrounding areas. These people are mainly "dispatched employees" and are scattered in various travel-related industries. After the outbreak, tourists almost returned to zero, and many "dispatched employees" instantly lost their job base.

  The Chinese said that the WeChat group of local Chinese looking for jobs has sprung up. Everyone exchanges employment information in the group. Among them, "3k (dirty, hard, dangerous)" jobs account for most of the work, which are usually unpopular jobs, interviews The number of people actually reached 30, and the number of admissions was only 1-2, but this is still regarded as the last "life-saving straw" by them.

  According to media reports, the latest data released by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare show that, including the estimated portion, the number of dismissals and cessation of employment related to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic reached 24,660 as of June 12. Since May 25, when statistics began on the employment patterns of regular employees and informal employees, informal employees accounted for 6,944 out of 12,748, accounting for 54%.

  The data also mentioned that among the employees who were laid off or discontinued, the accommodation industry, such as hotels and hotels, accounted for the most, reaching 5,249. After that, it was 3826 people in the catering industry, 3417 people in the manufacturing industry, and 2419 people in the road passenger transportation industry such as taxis and coaches.
