The government said Friday that it will grant E-9 visas to 56,000 migrant workers. The visa is provided to foreigners working non-professional jobs. The number stood at 62,000 in 2013 but declined to 53,000 in 2014, before being raised to 55,000 in 2015 and 56,000 in 2016.
（南韓）政府週五表示，其將核發E-9簽證予5.6萬名移工，這種簽證乃提供給從事非專業工作的外國人。持該簽證的移工人數，2013年有6.2萬、2014年減至5.3萬，2015、16年又增至5.5萬、5.6萬。
Out of the total, 42,300 workers will be permitted to work in the manufacturing sector, followed 6,600 in the agro-livestock industry, 2,600 in fishing, 2,400 in construction and 1,100 in services.
其中，4.23萬名移工將獲准在製造業工作，其次為在農畜業的6600人、在漁業的2600人和服務業的1100人。
"We tried to seek a balance between addressing the workforce shortage for small- and medium-sized enterprises and avoiding foreign workers from taking away too many domestic jobs," Office for Government Policy and Coordination Minister Hong Nam-ki said. The government also said it will enhance crackdowns on illegal migrant workers.
國務調整室長洪楠基說，「在解決中小企業勞力短缺與避免外籍勞工搶走太多本國的工作之間，我們試著尋找平衡」。政府還提到，其將加強查緝非法移工。
