This comprehensive evaluation assessed the overall job-related performance across 13 items in 8 areas, including job target achievement, employment indicators, job outcomes, and efforts to promote youth employment and entrepreneurship, selecting outstanding cities and counties among the 22 cities and counties of Gyeongbuk Province.

Goryeong-gun received favorable evaluations by producing balanced results in all areas, including the active operation of the Goryeong-gun Job and Youth Startup Support Center selected for this year’s public project, public job projects for vulnerable groups, support and consulting for youth employment and startup commercialization funds, labor environment improvement projects, and the local government leader’s strong commitment.

Additionally, the county created 3,635 jobs, achieving 105% of the 2024 Job Disclosure System target of 3,440 jobs, and was selected as an excellent city and county by implementing proactive youth policies that reflect local conditions and characteristics, preventing local extinction through the influx of out-of-area youth supported by youth settlement and startup commercialization funds.

County Governor Lee Nam-cheol expressed, “I am very honored to receive the excellent institution award despite the difficult situation of ongoing economic recession and employment crisis. Since Goryeong-gun’s job and youth policies are organically linked to produce results, we will do our best to create quality jobs suited to local conditions and make Goryeong a happy place for all residents.”
