The city contributed 248 million won in 2023 and 252 million won in 2024, helping to improve the working conditions of SME employees.

Mayor Lee Wan-seop said, "The operation of the Chungnam Joint Employee Welfare Fund No. 6, established to improve welfare conditions for SME workers in the region, is progressing smoothly," and added, "If there is additional demand for establishing more corporations in the future, we will actively attract them to further enhance employee welfare."
