Over 30 percent of job offers are temporary

A recent government survey shows that 34 percent of job offers are made via outsourcing services companies or job brokers.

The Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry on Wednesday published the results of its survey on the state of job offers at public job placement offices in Tokyo and nine other prefectures.

Commenting on this in its January 16 issue, Akahata said that an increase in these unstable jobs, in which employer responsibility is often lacking, will only increase low-paying jobs with wretched working conditions. (end)
