South Korea is experiencing rising demand for foreign workers across high-growth sectors driven by digitalisation, labour shortages, and industrial expansion. The most in-demand roles include software developers, data analysts, AI engineers, semiconductor technicians, mechanical and electrical engineers, English teachers, caregivers, nurses, restaurant workers, logistics coordinators, and manufacturing staff. Skilled professionals in IT, engineering, healthcare, and education are especially sought after through visas like the E-7. Labour shortages in caregiving, hospitality, and factory operations also create opportunities for foreign workers willing to take mid-skill jobs with stable employment prospects.
