The Japanese Yen keeps tumbling, and there’s a lot of factors that go into that. But shouldn’t the massive number of people visiting Japan and buying yen help boost their currency?

Tourism brings in foreign currency, but there’s more too it than that.

Many of the jobs that service tourists are pretty low skill, low pay jobs; and your economy as a whole might be in a better place if those people were working in higher skill, higher paid jobs.
