You're right, I just used that as one example as it's the only thing I know exact numbers for. People I know back home say finding a job is still hard to find(one being a Cornell graduate, so it's not lack of degree/experience/etc), but here jobs are easy to find. Last time I went out to find a job, I had 5 job offers within 2 weeks.

Now you can say, Korea is smaller than the states, which is true but if you look at % of unemployment I'm sure there's a big difference... I'll try to find the exact numbers later. Homeless is the same way, the % of homeless here is probably far lower. I don't know exact numbers, but I know how often I saw someone that was homeless in NYC compared to how many I see in Seoul now, and it's a big difference.
