Work styles have become more diverse, and we are now in an era where people can choose based on their own way of life. Currently, in Fukushima’s 12 municipalities, an increasing number of people are finding a “work style that suits them” in a variety of employment formats, including office workers, freelancers, and people starting their own businesses.
