IMF Slams Korea's Failure to Generate Stable Jobs
The report says the economy "has proven unable to generate permanent salaried employment." It stresses that some 30 percent of all new jobs created in the service sector in the past decade were self-employed. Most of them did not choose to be self-employed but were forced into it because they could not find permanent jobs.... According to its analysis, the non-regular jobs the Korean economy produces are highly unstable and workers "face substantially higher probability of a return to unemployment."

Real Reality, if your looking for a secure stable job that will always be there for you, you will not find it in Korea, the US, or anywhere else.
Life is full of changes, some good, others bad. I hope you learn to adapt.
Maybe you should join the US Postal Service? Very little change goes on there..  |

You have a point. It would be great if there were equality and all that but honestly Real Reality, if you are chasing dollars don't you think you are in the wrong trade? |

What Korean teachers never chase after dollars or won?
Of course, Korean teachers have promotions, salary scales, bonuses, unions, and much more. |
