The capital city is aiming to create 160,000 jobs by the end of the year through the implementation of a wide range of measures including providing preferential loans for job creation, organising online and offline job fairs, and providing training for workers who have lost their jobs.

New jobs to be created in the final months of the year are mainly in the groups of seasonal workers, confectionery trade villages, finance and banking, information and communications, and wholesale and retail.
