A total of 277,674 nonregular workers at 5,252 business offices lost or are expected to lose their jobs in the period from October 2008 to June this year, a labor ministry survey showed Friday.
The figure, including workers whose labor contracts with manpower agencies were not renewed after expiration, grew by 2,660 from the previous survey in April, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry said.
"Employment conditions for nonregular workers have stabilized" compared with past periods when companies terminated contracts for dispatch workers, a ministry official said, however.
By prefecture, Aichi, the home of Japan's auto industry where Toyota Motor Corp. and affiliated component suppliers are based, remained top of the list with 45,355 nonregular workers who lost or are expected to lose their jobs, followed by Tokyo with 16,581 and Shizuoka with 11,342.
