BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's cabinet on Tuesday approved a 10.6 billion baht ($339 million) project to create jobs to support its rural economy and reduce poverty, a government spokesman said.

 

That government plans to hire at least 60,000 students and community members for government development programmes, government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri told a briefing.

 

That will be financed by some of the government's 1 trillion baht borrowing for reviving an economy hit badly by the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
