Cheonan City has achieved a remarkable employment rate of 69.4% in the first half of this year, marking the highest level since the statistics began in 2017. This achievement reflects the citys comprehensive employment policies aimed at supporting various age groups, particularly the elderly, through initiatives like the Senior Companion Convenience Store. The newly opened second store in the Senior Companion program not only provides jobs for seniors but also ensures a sustainable income model through its operations.

Cheonan City has set an ambitious target of achieving a 68.7% employment rate while aiming to create 30,000 new jobs. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to addressing local economic challenges and enhancing workforce participation. As the city conducts a thorough review of its job creation strategies, the focus remains on innovative solutions that can stimulate growth and provide sustainable employment opportunities. The current employment rate of 68.7% indicates a solid foundation, but the goal of adding 30,000 jobs is a bold step that could significantly impact the local economy.
