The number of people dismissed from their jobs due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic totaled 50,326 in Japan as of Monday, the government said Tuesday. The number of such people — mainly so-called nonregular workers, a category that includes those with low-paying, part-time jobs — grew by more than 10,000 every month between May and July, and by 9,000 in August, according to a labor ministry survey.
