With South Korea's manufacturing sector facing hard times, the number of work available for job seekers dropped to the lowest level in 26 years.

隨著韓國製造業面臨困境，求職者可獲得的工作數量降至 26 年來最低水平。

程度副詞

According to labor market trends released by the Ministry of Employment and Labor on Monday, new job postings totaled 165,000 in July, down nearly 17 percent from a year earlier.

根據就業和勞動部週一公佈的勞動力市場趨勢，7 月份新增職位總數為 16.5 萬個，比去年同期下降了近 17%。

情態副詞

This translates into a job openings ratio, or job per seeker, of 0.4, sharply down from 0.51 last year and the lowest July tolly since 1999 when the country was still coping with the Asian financial market crisis.

這意味著職位空缺率（即每個求職者擁有的職位數）為 0.4，與去年的 0.51 相比大幅下降，也是自 1999 年以來 7 月份的最低值，當時該國仍在應對亞洲金融市場危機。

The latest tolly follows a very poor June showing when vacancies across all industries dropped 18.1 percent with manufacturing plunging 24.9 percent.

繼 6 月份所有行業的職位空缺下降了 18.1%（其中製造業下降了 24.9%）之後，6 月份又出現了非常糟糕的情況。

The latest findings, moreover, pointed out that the number of new job seekers rose 5.5 percent to 411,000, which is only compounding the problem.

此外，最新調查結果顯示，新求職者人數增加了 5.5%，達到 411, 000 人，這只會使問題更加複雜化。

Reflecting the sluggish job market, the number of full-time employment insurance subscribers, which is widely seen as a barometer of the employment conditions, stood at about 15.6 million as of late July.

截至 7 月底，被廣泛視為就業狀況晴雨表的全職就業保險參保人數約為 1,560 萬人，反映了就業市場的低迷。

While this is a gain of 1.2 percent year-on-year, excluding the COVID-19 period, it is the smallest increase since July 2003.

雖然在扣除新冠疫情期間，這一數字年增 1.2%，但這是自 2003 年 7 月以來的最小增幅。

By sector, manufacturing and construction, seen as the main source of stable jobs in the country, shed 5,000 and 19,000 employment insurance subscribers, respectively.

按行業劃分，製造業和建築業被視為該國穩定工作崗位的主要來源，分別減少了 5,000 名和 19,000 名就業保險用戶。

Manufacturing was hit hard by weak production and a drop in exports while construction is facing a severe downturn in the face of low demand.

製造業因生產疲軟和出口下降而遭受重創，而建築業則因需求低迷而面臨嚴重下滑。

Excluding the rise in foreign workers under the employment permit system, manufacturing jobs actually fell by a sharp 24,000 positions.

如果不考慮根據就業許可制度增加的外籍工人，製造業的工作崗位實際上銳減了 24,000 個。

Meanwhile, with more people having failed to lend jobs, the number of unemployment benefit recipients rose to 673,000, up 21,000 from a year earlier.

與此同時，由於更多的人找不到工作，領取失業救濟金的人數增加到 67.3 萬人，比去年同期增加了 2.1 萬人。

The total payout in July climbed 3.3 percent to 1.11 trillion won.

7 月份的總支付額增長了 3.3%，達到 1.11 兆韓元。

This increase is fueling worries about the long-term viability of the system and its impact on the Korean economy as a whole.

這一增長加劇了人們對該系統長期可行性及其對整個韓國經濟影響的擔憂。

Local market watchers said the recent drop in job openings may be systemic and point out that the present situation stems from shrinking corporate hiring capacity caused by both internal and external uncertainties.

當地市場觀察人士表示，近期職位空缺的減少可能是系統性的，並指出目前的情況源於內部和外部不確定因素導致的企業招聘能力萎縮。

These developments, they argue, make it unlikely that a rebound will occur in the near future with the result being that many job seekers may have to waste some time before they are able to find employment.

他們認為，這些事態發展使得短期內不可能出現反彈，結果是許多求職者可能要浪費一些時間才能找到工作。
