Employment offices open during holiday week

Japan's labor ministry will keep some local employment offices open for part of the year-end holiday season.

77 job placement centers across Japan will open on Tuesday and Wednesday, 2 days longer than usual, to help people who have lost jobs or accommodation amid the current economic downturn.

At such a center, people can receive job counseling, browse vacancies or apply for vocational training.

People who have lost their housing will be given information about public housing vacancies.

In a similar move, 136 municipal governments across the country are working through Wednesday to offer counseling to unemployed people.

Japan's jobless rate stood at 3.31 million in November.
