The company started hiring foreigners as regular employees last spring.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to last year&#8217;s 10 new foreign employees, the convenience store giant hired 39 new workers, who studied in Japan, among a total of 122 regular employees this spring, made up of 28 Chinese, four South Koreans, three Taiwanese, two Vietnamese and one each from Indonesia and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<p>According to the company, like their Japanese counterparts, the foreign employees will work at directly-managed stores across Japan for about three years.<\/p><\/div>\n<div
