National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC): There are several key points to unswervingly regard employment as the greatest livelihood. Wu Sa, deputy director of the Institute of Economics of the Macroeconomic Research Institute of the NDRC, said that in terms of employment, we should unswervingly regard employment as the greatest livelihood, adhere to the strategy of giving priority to employment, and focus all kinds of work on supporting employment. There are several key points in this: ① We should pay more attention to the employment of key groups, including newly employed college students and migrant workers. These groups are a very important area of employment and should be paid attention to. We have to solve the problem of structural employment. In fact, we still have many fields, and there is still a great demand for employment in new fields, but we need to increase vocational training and improve our quality, so that the employed people can meet the new track, new scene and new employability. ③ We should also build a good employment environment and protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees, so as to better expand the employment market.

The second vote of the National Assembly on the impeachment case of Xiyue is obviously shaken and split within the ruling party. At 4 pm local time on the 14th (3 pm Beijing time today), the plenary session of the National Assembly of South Korea will once again vote on the impeachment case of South Korean President Yin Xiyue. If the impeachment case is approved by at least two thirds, that is, at least 200 votes, Yin Xiyue will be suspended immediately and the impeachment case will be handed over to the Korean Constitutional Court for a final ruling. Since the opposition camp in South Korea, which supports the impeachment of Yin Xiyue, has a majority of 192 seats in the National Assembly, Yin Xiyue's impeachment case will be passed in the National Assembly of South Korea as long as 8 of the 108 ruling party members vote in favor. It is reported that the ruling party will hold another emergency meeting of members of parliament before voting this afternoon. According to the news coming out, the ruling party may revise its boycott position in the last voting and will not restrict members from entering the venue to vote. Some analysts even said that the number of members of the ruling party in favor of the impeachment case may far exceed eight.
