[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 14th that it is promoting the ‘2021 Hamyang-gun Small and Medium Enterprises and Small Business Employment Incentive Support Project’ as a special policy for job creation and is recruiting participating companies until the 29th.

The employment incentive support project provides 700,000 KRW per month per person to small and medium enterprises and small business owners who have business establishments in the county and employ two or more workers enrolled in employment insurance, when they newly hire county residents.

Companies selected for this project can receive support for up to 10 months for up to two newly hired employees.

The county has allocated a budget of 210 million KRW to promote the employment incentive support project.

It is expected to create up to 30 jobs by supporting small and medium enterprises and small business owners experiencing management difficulties.

A county official said, “This project aims to resolve employment contraction of companies amid the prolonged economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to promote job creation for job-seeking county residents. We hope many small and medium enterprises and small business owners in the area will participate.”
