Driving back from Minakami, we encountered some construction on the highway. Needless to say, the road was practically packed with workers. However, a majority of them were not working on the construction itself. Rather, they were standing still waving flashing lights. Some stood alone, but most were in groups.
Upon doing a bit of research, I have found that Japan's unemployment rate hovers around five percent. Japan has traditionally had very low unemployment rates. Now I know why!
