Japan's Aeon to hire 4,000 skilled foreign workers by fiscal 2030
TOKYO -- Leading Japanese retailer Aeon will hire 4,000 skilled foreign workers groupwide by fiscal 2030 amid severe labor shortages in Japan's food service sector, Nikkei has learned.
The Aeon group currently employs around 1,500 under Japan's Specified Skilled Worker program, which targets foreign workers with specialized skills in shorthanded industries. They work largely at food-processing plants that supply Aeon supermarkets.
