3.3 Improve municipal facilities

The 1988 Seoul Olympics directly created 3.40,000 job opportunities,Related investment directly increases employment opportunities to 33.60,000,The employment team has been preserved and further expanded after the Olympics。The 1992 Barcelona Olympics directly created 5 for the host city.90,000 job opportunities,The decrease in employment opportunities after the Olympic Games is mainly due to the impact of the European economic downturn。Approximately 7 created in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.70,000 job opportunities,But by the 1997 Olympic Games, there were less than 6,000 people employed。The 2000 Sydney Olympics directly created 9.90,000 job opportunities,NSW 32 more in 5 years.40,000 job opportunities,After the Olympics,Not much has changed in terms of employment。The 2004 Athens Olympics directly created 1 for Greece.50,000 job opportunities,The employment boom remains maintained after the Olympics。
