SEOUL, Dec. 30 (Chinese media) -- The South Korean government announced Tuesday to
temporarily halt issuing employment permits to foreign nationals hoping to work
in the country as the recent number of newly employed foreigners exceeded a set
quota.
The freeze in permits will be in effect until February 2009, as the number
of foreign workers employed here from March has reached the set quota of 72,000,
said the Ministry of Labor.
The ministry said it plans to announce a new quota in February in
consideration of economic slump and a possible decrease of jobs for overseas
workers.
