These articles about the labor market are the most ridiculous corporatocratic propaganda from a Ministry of Newspeak.
Inflation forcing people to take non-living wage jobs to survive? A New capitalist victory over deflation!
Get those senior slackers into some service jobs to solve the "labor shortage"!
More likely than the almost non-existent wage hikes is the momentum to avoid homelessness.
Workers on yearly, zero-hour precarious work contracts have to re-contract, re-negotiate, find other work to fill the interim. Great news for the economy!
Full on Late Stage Capitalism.

There are many more people just subsisting on only a few hours of work a week.
How many hundreds of thousands should we add to the millions already unemployed?

Are we going to ignore this 1-to-81 male/female disparity here?

Literally a worthless Ministry of Propaganda for the LDP/Japan Inc. Combine. Not that it is scarcely different anywhere else except in places with strong labor movements and social welfare that empower workers.
Utter insanity and I wonder when people will rise up and just not take it anymore.

That is a glaring typo about the women.
That many unemployed would be over 100 percent of women out of work. Did the decimal in the 0.81 get dropped? Did Ippei Mizuhara do this translation for Kyodo?

What jump out below, highly cyclical areas consumers cut in a down-turn. Seems recession already here, just like US. GDP positive due to huge Govt. deficit spending and high prices, but underlying activity clearly dropping.
