Korea has more jobless university grads than jobless high school grads

  • 9 years ago
Being a college graduate is often considered a great privilege, but these days it's not always the case... especially when it comes to getting a job in Korea.
New research shows that more college grads are out of work... compared to high school grads.
While the unemployment rate for high school graduates dropped point-two percentage point from 2005... to around 9 percent last year,... the rate rose for college grads,... from 6 percent to nearly 10 percent.
Analysts say this is due to the lack of quality jobs for college graduates to go after... and that employers are hiring a larger number of workers straight out of high school.
