[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] On the 1st, Naju City in Jeollanam-do announced that it will promote the ‘Second Half Public Job Project’ for residents in need of temporary livelihood support due to economic difficulties among vulnerable groups and job loss or business closure caused by COVID-19.

The second half public work project will recruit 48 workers in a total of 32 fields by the 10th of this month.

The main tasks include ‘administrative work assistance,’ ‘quarantine support and guidance assistant,’ and ‘facility, center, and tourist facility environment maintenance.’ Detailed items can be checked on the city hall website under the relevant notices and announcements.

Applicants must be citizens aged 18 or older with the ability to work and have an address in the city.

Those wishing to work should fill out the application form and other documents posted on the city hall and Worknet websites and submit them to the administrative welfare center with jurisdiction over their address by the 10th.

The city will comprehensively review applicants’ assets, household income, vulnerable employment status, and continuous participation status to finalize the participants by the end of this month.

Priority employment will be given to vulnerable groups in urgent need of livelihood support, such as those unemployed or on unpaid leave due to the impact of COVID-19.

Work standards vary by detailed project, and from next month until the end of November (for 3 months), workers will be paid an hourly wage of 9,160 won (snack allowance separate) for 15 to 40 hours per week.

Earlier in the first half, the city selected 70 public job participants in three types: ‘local quarantine,’ ‘local community,’ and ‘public work.’

A city official said, “We hope that the second half public work project will help stabilize the lives of vulnerable groups struggling with livelihood difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession. We will do our best to discover private job projects linked with employment institutions such as the comprehensive job support center as well as public jobs.”
