Original Korean article: Recruitment analysis on June 1, 2026: Recruitment flow centered on production/manufacturing and care/nursing
Comprehensive summary of daily job postings
Looking at the overall structure first, production/manufacturing, care/nursing, office/administration, and sales/service formed the main occupational axes. Wages are often unstated and negotiated, so you need to check the original terms more carefully than the average amount.
Based on the 17 cities and provinces, the most announcements were in that order: Gyeonggi with 2,636, Seoul with 1,977, Gyeongnam with 810, Busan with 737, and Gyeongbuk with 587. The 332 announcements that were not confirmed at the city/province level were excluded from the 17 city/province charts and were separately informed in the data standards at the bottom of the text.
The wage type was as follows: 3,466 unmarked, 2,512 monthly wages, 1,873 hourly wages, 1,507 negotiated wages, and 885 annual wages. Since hourly wage, monthly salary, and annual salary have different units, they were interpreted separately rather than combined into a single average.
By occupation, 2,586 production/manufacturing, 2,277 care/nursing, 1,448 office/administration, and 1,406 sales/service formed the core axis. The announcement made on June 1st shows a significant demand for both production site manpower and care services.
Based on the scope available in the original text, 10,349 corporate details and 7,452 rows of corporate financial information were confirmed. Announcement conditions and company information can be supplementaryly interpreted.
The employment type was 7,175 contract workers, 2,968 regular workers, and 212 unconfirmed. The meaning of employment type may vary depending on the occupation, so it must be interpreted together with wage type.
Major recruitment occupations by region
By region, the number of vacancies in Gyeonggi and Seoul is large, but the first aspect to analyze is the composition of occupations rather than the simple total amount. In the metropolitan area, demand for office work, services, and care is widely distributed, while non-metropolitan manufacturing areas such as Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, and Chungnam have a notable proportion of production and manufacturing.
Nationwide distribution by employment type
Looking at the national distribution by occupation, production and manufacturing are broadly found in the Gyeonggi and Yeongnam regions, while care and nursing are widely found in the metropolitan area and metropolitan areas. Office/administration and sales/service have a large share in Seoul and Gyeonggi, but there is also constant demand from local living areas.
Wage type by occupation
Wage types are confirmed in different ways depending on the occupation. For care and nursing, the hourly type stands out, while for production/manufacturing and office work/administration, there is a mix of monthly, annual salary, and negotiated types. Unmarked and negotiated terms do not mean low treatment, but are announcements that require separate confirmation of the specific amount in the original text.
Category Sample average Average hourly wage 1,873 cases 12,351 won Average monthly salary 2,512 cases 2.48 million won Average annual salary 885 cases 38.96 million won
Social insurance subscription according to wage type
Social insurance should be viewed based on the items specified in the original text. National pension, health insurance, employment insurance, and industrial accident insurance may appear together, so they should not be read as having mutually exclusive weight. Unspecified status does not mean that you are not registered, but that it has not been confirmed in the original text.
Industry and employment trends shown by job postings
This data reveals that manufacturing sites and care services simultaneously form a large axis of the employment market. Production and manufacturing have strong demand linked to local industrial complexes, while care and nursing are occupations that reflect aging and demand for living services. Office work, administration, sales, and services are concentrated in the metropolitan area, but are repeatedly confirmed in living areas across the country.
Applicants should not only look at the job title, but also check the wage type, work area, employment type, and whether social insurance is specified. In particular, for unmarked or negotiated announcements, it is important to check the actual salary calculation method and working hours in the original text before applying.
