1.7 million won per month. "The biggest ever"...10 trillion job-seeking benefits will be paid by October this year [Anchor Report]

It's called the government's money, job search benefits, to help unemployed people find jobs and stabilize their lives.

The amount of payment continues to increase.

It is pointed out that the financial burden as well as the motivation to work is lowered.

Let's take a look at the situation.

According to the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 11th, the average job-seeking benefit payment per person last month reached a record 1.74 million won.

The number of new applicants also jumped 12.4% from a year ago to 89,000, the highest in October.

As a result, October payments alone are expected to exceed 1 trillion won, and by the end of the year, the total is expected to exceed 12 trillion won, the highest ever.

You have to meet certain conditions to receive job search benefits, but the problem is that there are many gaps.

You must have worked for more than 180 days in the 18 months prior to the application, and the reasons for retirement will be involuntary, and you must also try to re-employment, but there are many areas that are difficult to prove.

With so many gaps, one fishing worker repeatedly joined and left the company in one place, earning nearly 100 million won (as of last August) in job search benefits.

The scale of illegal supply and demand caught is also increasing.

Last year alone, 23,000 cases, nearly 30 billion won, were caught in which they did not look for jobs or were conspired and unemployed by presidents and workers.

This is a whopping 52% increase from five years ago.

As the amount of payments is not small, it is pointed out that job-seeking benefits are rather reducing motivation to work.

According to a survey conducted by the National Statistical Office in September, 416,000 people in their 20s said they "rested without looking for a job,"
It is estimated that not a few of these
rely on salaries.

As a result, there are growing calls for fundamental repair of the system.The Ministry of Employment

submitted an amendment to the Employment Insurance Act to the National Assembly in July, which cuts the amount by 50% if you receive more than six job search benefits.

However, politicians who are conscious of young people's votes are not easily able to touch them.

With more than 10 trillion won being paid every year for the fifth year, it is urgent to find a job and use financially efficiently.
