On the 12th, job seekers lined up at the Seoul Western Employment Welfare Plus Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul, to receive consultations for unemployment benefit applications and other services. According to the 'July Employment Trends' announced by Statistics Korea on the same day, the number of employed people last month was 27,106,000, a decrease of 277,000 compared to a year earlier. This marks the fifth consecutive month of decline, the longest streak in 11 years since the global financial crisis caused an eight-month consecutive decrease from January to August 2009./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
