[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] This year, a large-scale public job project will be carried out in Andong-si, Gyeongbuk.

Andong-si announced on the 4th that from January 17, it will conduct a local quarantine job project targeting vulnerable employment groups such as low-income and long-term unemployed people facing economic difficulties. From February 21, the first half public work project and local community job project will also begin.

These projects are implemented to provide temporary jobs to vulnerable employment groups and partially guarantee income necessary for livelihood to promote life stability.

The local quarantine job project supports disinfection at public offices and multi-use public facilities to prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. A total of 21 people will participate in 11 projects until March 31.

The public work project involves 20 people participating in 20 projects including public service provision and environmental maintenance, and the local community job project involves 39 people participating in 24 projects including village beautification and tourism resource utilization until May 20.

An official from the city said, “In a situation where the employment shock is severe due to the nearly two-year-long COVID-19 pandemic, we hope that providing temporary public jobs to economically vulnerable employment groups will help stabilize their lives and serve as an opportunity for the local economy to regain vitality.”
