[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun announced on the 26th that it will recruit domestic workers from the 27th to the 3rd of next month to address the shortage of labor in rural areas.

As a preliminary step before introducing foreign seasonal workers, the county is prioritizing the recruitment of domestic workers who can perform farm work for 3 to 5 months.

Eligibility to participate is anyone aged between 30 and 55 years old who is physically healthy and capable of farm work.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the Agricultural Policy Division of the county office.

If selected as a worker, they will perform farm work such as crop sowing, production, and harvesting at farms that have requested the introduction of seasonal workers. The working hours are 8 hours per day, and the 2022 minimum wage of 9,160 KRW will be applied.

A county official said, "We expect that the introduction of seasonal workers will help alleviate the rural labor shortage," and added, "We will do our best to promote the recruitment of workers so that farms facing the busy farming season can carry out stable agricultural activities without disruption."
