[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, will promote the public job project for the first half of the year starting in March.

This project is carried out to minimize blind spots in quarantine management occurring during the phased transition to daily life recovery, ensuring citizens' safe daily lives and reducing quarantine risks, as well as supporting the livelihood of vulnerable groups and low-income households and recovering the local economy.

A total of 4.77 billion KRW will be invested to select 975 people across 352 workplaces in three projects (local quarantine, local community, and public work). The selected personnel will work 20 hours per week for 5 days a week (15 hours for those aged 65 and over) for four months from March 2 to the end of June.

Along with this, the "Living Quarantine Job Project" will also be implemented early for four months starting from the 14th.

For the living quarantine project, 135 people were selected for a total of 53 workplaces to prevent COVID-19 infection, including access restrictions and temperature checks at multi-use facilities and local living quarantine.

Participants receive wages and allowances based on the 2022 wage standard (9,160 KRW). They provide quarantine services for multi-use facilities frequently visited by residents.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu said, "We will promote the living quarantine project early for citizens' safety, and with the full-scale implementation of the public job project, we will do our best to stabilize the livelihood of low-income and employment-vulnerable groups, revitalize the local economy, and achieve a V-turn in the people's economy."
