Japan is one of the most technologically advanced societies on Earth; as a result, it has the world's second largest economy by GDP (after the U.S.). Japan exports automobiles, consumer and office electronics, steel, and transportation equipment. It imports food, oil, lumber, and metal ores.
Economic growth stalled in the 1990s, but since has rebounded to a quietly respectable 2% per year.
The services sector employs 67.7% of the work-force, industry 27.8%, and agriculture 4.6%. The unemployment rate is 4.1%.
Per capita GDP in Japan is $38,500; 13.5% of the population lives below the poverty line.
