Consultations are being held here and there in order to receive employment support that was introduced in the new year.

As a public structure, support for the national employment support system, which will be implemented from this year, is increasing rapidly, centering on the low-income class.]
27,000 people, the number of employed people decreased in Ulsan last month.
Here, the unemployment rate is 6.1%, the highest in 21 years since 1999, just after the financial crisis.
It's really the worst job shock.
In the aftermath of the distance, the restaurant and lodging industry fell by a whopping 16%, and the hit was noticeable, and the personal service industry also had a difficult January.
In addition, although the number of employed has decreased in most age groups, employment colds have been more severe for vulnerable groups such as women, daily workers, and unpaid workers.
Although astronomical budgets and various policies are pouring out, there are concerns that the job cliff will continue for the time being unless the corona situation improves.
