Shin Jeong-hoon demands the establishment of a plan to create jobs in the Honam semiconductor industry.

(Naju = Yonhap News) Reporter Jeon Seung-hyun = Democratic Party lawmaker Shin Jeong-hoon (Naju, Gwangju, Hwasun, Jeollanam-do), a member of the National Assembly Climate, Energy, Environment and Labor Committee, requested on the 13th that the government should establish a job creation plan related to the construction of Honam semiconductors.

Representative Shin argued through the National Assembly audit data that a task force dedicated to job creation should be formed, saying, “For the Honam semiconductor cluster to lead to regional job creation and economic revitalization, the Ministry of Employment and Labor needs to play an active role.”

He then stated that it is necessary to implement services related to job creation and establish plans for the type and size of jobs in each direct and indirect employment sector and by year.

Representative Shin pointed out, “SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won recently expressed his determination to start construction first even if power and water supply is delayed,” and added, “The government is not keeping up with the pace of investment by companies and is responding passively to employment.”
