摘要：Regional disparities in the labor market are widening drastically. With economic recovery under way, the number of job offers has increased considerably in the Kanto and Tokai areas and the effective job offer-job seeker ratio is far above 1.0, indicating a labor shortage. In contrast, the number of job offers is not increasing to the same extent in Hokkaido, Tohoku, Shikoku and Kyushu areas, and in many prefectures within these areas, the effective job offer-job seeker ratio remains under 1.0. The latest figures demonstrate that the ratio is, in effect, falling in several prefectures.
