Korea's economic growth recovered to the three percent range last year, but the job market is still struggling.<br /> The Bank of Korea said Monday that the country's employment-to-GDP ratio was 17-point-two in 2017, falling to a record low from 2016's 17-point-five.<br />The employment-to-GDP ratio measures the number of newly added employees per one billion Korean won, or 935-thousand U.S. dollars, of GDP,... showing whether economic growth is leading to people finding work. <br />The ratio usually falls along with technological development but the speed of the drop is raising concern.<br />After hitting 43-point-one in 1990, the ratio fell below 30 in 1997, and has been under 20 since 2009. <br />
