A survey by Japan's labor ministry shows that more than 300,000 non-regular workers lost or will lose their jobs between the October 2008 onset of the global financial crisis and March of next year.
The ministry found that as of December 17th, around 300,740 non-regular workers had lost their jobs or were expected to lose them because of the termination or expiration of their contracts.
The figure is up by about 2,200 from the previous month.
Around 152,000 of them were workers dispatched from staffing agencies, while about 74,000 were seasonal employees.
The ministry tracked down about 147,000 of the laid-off workers and found that only 67 percent of them had found new jobs.
The ministry also surveyed cases in which 100 or more full-time regular workers were dismissed or will be dismissed at one time between October 2008 and March 2011.
It found that the number of such workers stood at nearly 82,500, marking a month-on-month increase of about 1,700.
