According to Yonhap News,
(Jincheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Cheon Gyeong-hwan – Jincheon County in North Chungcheong Province announced on the 28th that the average annual salary of regional workers has seen a marked appreciation, a trend directly correlated with the county’s aggressive investment attraction policy.
Data released by the county shows that as of 2024, the average annual wage for workers in the district reached KRW 40.59 million. This represents a 45.5 percent surge compared to 2016 levels, the year the county pivoted its focus toward large-scale investment acquisition.
Authorities attributed the wage growth to the successful attraction of high-value industries, robust job creation, and subsequent population growth.
"The sustained investment attraction strategy is now translating into tangible increases in real income for our residents," a county official remarked. "To ensure long-term retention of the workforce, we will expedite the development of large-scale residential infrastructure, including the Seongseok District."
