Daejeon City announced that it plans to invest 497.2 billion KRW this year to create 55,691 jobs and achieve an employment rate (ages 15-64) of 68.0%.

The detailed 2024 job policy plan, disclosed by the city on the 2nd, includes 5 core strategies, 12 promotion tasks, and 176 detailed job projects.

The direction focuses on creating employment preferred by youth, establishing an employment ecosystem that leads to job retention and regional settlement, alleviating labor market mismatches through strengthened employment services, creating quality jobs by fostering new industries, breaking away from a service-centered industrial structure, and advancing industrial sophistication centered on high-tech industries.

Jang Ho-jong, Deputy Mayor for Economy and Science of Daejeon City, said, “Although the working-age population decreases every year and the economy has faced difficult conditions since last year, we will concentrate administrative capabilities to revitalize Daejeon’s economy and create quality jobs.”
