However, June 2007 statistics from the Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) show that while college graduates spend on average 1.8 months looking for their first jobs, master's degree holders only take 1.1 months. It would seem that the "high education, high unemployment" phenomenon is to some degree an illusion and that the true reason for this employment conundrum is the pickiness of young people toward employment.
另一方面，根據勞委會 2007 年 6 月份的統計，大專生找到第一份工作平均只需 1.8 個月，碩士生更只要 1.1 個月，顯然「高學歷高失業」在某種程度上只是假相，年輕人對工作的挑剔程度，才是造成就業困難的主因。
