In particular, to create jobs tailored to the region through an analysis of Hamyang-gun's population changes, employment trends, industrial structure, regional characteristics, financial conditions, and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses) analysis of the local labor market status, a budget of 45.8 billion KRW will be invested to create 4,525 jobs in the public sector, aiming to achieve an employment rate (ages 15?64) of 74%.
