North vs South Korea: What Makes These Neighbors So Different?
Low Pay To Livable Wages
Gas station workers in North and South Korea are responsible for serving customers and maintaining the station. In the North, these workers earn minimal wages, while those in the South earn significantly more, benefiting from the country’s stronger economy and labor protections.
South Korea’s minimum wage is around $8 per hour, while North Korean wages can be as low as $1 per day, highlighting the stark economic disparity between the two nations. Furthermore, South Korea’s gas stations are often automated, reducing the need for manual labor, while North Korean stations rely heavily on human workers due to technological constraints.
