A 39-year-old office worker surnamed Park is considering opening a self-service laundromat business to secure a source of secondary income apart from his main occupation. Although Park works for a major Korean business conglomerate, he is seeking to earn more money amid deepening economic uncertainties and rising living costs.
대기업에 다니고 있는 박 씨(39)는 주 업무 외 별도 수입원을 확보하려고 자동 세탁소 사업 시작을 고려 중이다. 박 씨는 대기업에서 근무하지만 경제적 불확실성 심화와 생활비 증가에 대비해 더 많이 벌기 위해 노력하고 있다.

"Opening up unmanned shops has become a trend lately. You can find an unmanned shop in most neighborhoods these days. I myself am considering opening up an unmanned laundromat as it does not overlap with my main occupation and is a good secondary source of income," Park said.
박 씨는 "최근에는 무인 매장 개업이 유행이 되었다. 요즘은 대부분 동네에서 무인 매장을 찾을 수 있다. 나 역시 본업과 중복되지 않는 무인 세탁소 개업을 고려 중이고 이는 좋은 부 수입원이 될 것"이라고 말했다.

Like Park, an increasing number of workers are seeking to find an additional source of income as the rising cost of living and high interest rates take a toll on their pocketbooks leading them to pursue side jobs as relying solely on the monthly salary from their main jobs is increasingly difficult.
생활비 상승과 높은 이자율이 개인의 예산에 타격을 주면서 주요 본업에서 제공되는 월급에만 의지하기가 어려워지자, 박 씨와 같이 추가 수입원을 찾으려는 근로자들이 갈수록 늘어나고 있다.

The prolonged economic downturn also poses a risk as companies face difficulties with even well-known firms such as Meta Platforms and Tesla cutting personnel expenses. Having a stable second source of income, even if it is smaller than their main occupation, is seen as a way for employees to secure additional money in case their primary source is suddenly cut off, despite the government's goal of increasing the productivity of individual workers.
또 장기화되는 경제 불황은 메타 플랫폼스와 테슬라와 같은 유명 기업 역시 인건비 절감을 하는 등 기업이 어려움을 마주한 상황에서 위험이 된다. 정부는 근로자의 생산성 향상을 목표로 하지만, 근로자에게 안정적인 부 수입은 주 수입보다 적더라도 주 수입원이 갑자기 사라질 경우 추가 벌이 보장 수단으로 인식된다.
