The total number of recruits has increased by 647 compared to the previous year, and the total budget has increased by 32% to 17.6 billion KRW.

The senior job program is conducted in four types: ▲Public Interest Activity Type (social participation activities to promote community public interest) ▲Social Service Type (providing services in socially necessary areas by utilizing experience and capabilities) ▲Market-Type Business Group (creating senior jobs by jointly operating small stores and specialized business groups) ▲Employment Referral Type (connecting those with relevant job skills to demand sites).
The number of recruits by category is 3,260 for the Public Interest Activity Type, 572 for the Social Service Type, and 446 for the Market-Type and Employment Referral Types combined.
